bought some 18x8's

[Fst Blk]

Picked up 4 18x8 05-up polished bullitts.
I sit them against the front of the car to see how they matched up with the 94-04 deep dish bullitts in the rear.

I know they are slightly off as far as the way they are made. I don't really care about that. What concerns me is how they look matched together. Flush up front vs. deep dish in the rear. I may run all 4 if I need to or try and sell them and pick up 2 17x8 or 18x8 slightly dished for the front. Whatcha think??

18 X 8 ???

First thing that comes to my mind is : roll the front fender lips !! You need it !! IMHO.

I have 245/45/17 and 4.75 BS(i believe ) in the front and in my opinion, too large !!

I think it looks off. I dont like them together. What is the benefit of not using a matched set?

 

[Fst Blk]

I really want to use the deep dish 18x10 for the rear. That's the only benefit. I'm not totally sold on it myself. The finishes look different in the pics but they are the same.

personally I like the deep dish look and the "Big n Lil" combo. I guess I'm old skool like Pete!

personally, i would be more concerned with how they fit the car. hang a front fender in place & see how the match up with the body from a front to rear angle. you don't want the fronts sticking out of the fenderwells & the rears tucked way in or vice-versa. i think its fine to have a more dished wheel on the rear compared to the front, but what do i know, i'm fixing to order 18x8's & 20x10's for mine.....

I do like the deep dish on the rear and don't feel they have to match (front and rears). It would look better with more sidewall though IMHO

 

[Fst Blk]

I'll throw a fender on it tomorrow. We'll see from there. I know the tire size is all wrong though on the front.
Bill

 

[tarafied1]

yeah, the front tires have more sidewall than the rears

 

[SELLERSRODSHOP]

you need a 285/40-18 on the rear, then it will be perfect :thu

Fender and deep dish wheels in rear

Fender and 05 wheel in rear

Never mind the tire sizes and all that jazz. Which combination is gonna look better. When your car is as far out as mine, you have to do this small things to help keep the dream alive lol.

do the 10's tuck under the fender openings? hard to tell from that angle. need a shot directly down the side to see. if they tuck with no clearance issues, go with those. if not, go with the new set all the way around & stagger the tires a bit on those, maybe a 235 in front, 255/265 in rear.

 

[Fst Blk]

The rear 05 wheels have 275/40's on them now, and I like how they kinda bulge. If I decide to go with them in the rear, that's probably the size I'll go with. I'm thinking 235's up front too. The deep dish have 275/35's and don't look right on that wheel at all. I may use them with the 05's as they are brand new. I'm not sure how the rears are gonna fit as I haven't got the leafs on yet to locate the axle. I'll see when I get there. I'm just playing now :beer
