I have the stock Bullit wheels and I want the 10/10.5 wheels in the rear. To save a little dough and b/c I couldn't imagine being able to justify replacing the fronts with almost the same wheels, I plan on just buying the rear wheels for the back. I would like 18's in the rear but just don't know how that would look with the stock 17s up front. I was wondering if I could get pics with the stockers up from with the wide 18s out back and also the wide 17s out back. More help if the car has lowering springs. Thanks guys.

Why would you put 18's on the back.... Then you will have mismatched
tire profile. Stick with 17's

Some wheels look great with bigger wheels in the rear.

Are there any clearance problems with exhaust when you go that wide?

You'll want to do the fronts too.

The hub is shaped differently and the lip polish is far better on the aftermarket wheels. The stockers look dull in comparison
