I have already decided to get rid of my wheels for something different. Currently I am running 18/19 combo. Looks good, but I will never get a 19 inch tire that will give me any traction. Or 18 for that matter. After looking at the pic below, I am thinking about going with 18x9.5 on the front with a low profile tire, and 17x11 in the back w/ a Mickey Thompson ET DR. I have to have a minimum 18 inch on the front, because I have 14 inch rotors. That and the caliper will not fit inside a 17 inch. I will probably get the same wheels that are on the rear of this vette. I doubt the average person will be able to tell that the fronts are bigger. Sorry for the long explaination. Thoughts?
