I don't like mis-matched wheels. The fitment looks good, but keep the wheels the same.

I don't like the mis-matched wheels, but the drop is pretty intense. Anything you can do about that rear end? It's so high compared to the front and sides.

Only way mismatched wheels will look good is if it's on the opposite side of the car giving it two looks.

In the side profile pic it looks like the fronts are larger as well. I wouldn't do it.

thanks all, I had a feeling you guys wouldn't go for it..

What are your opinions on running bigger rims on rear and smaller on fronts?

Rear: 18x9.5+15
Front: 17x9.5+15

Corvettes do it. But it doesnt belong on a G.

Plus I dont even think you can fit 17s.

Only time I'd do that is if one is a step lip and the other is a reverse lip. That's one thing I regret with my previous setup. The faces didn't match (smaller on the step lip).

But the smaller wheel would be in the front, so it's kidna opposite of what you want.

I personally wouldn't do a larger sized wheel in the rear unless you can drop it enough. I think a sedan's stance should be leveled and flat. Coupes and other 2 doors can pull off the raked look but sedans don't look good.

I think I will scrap the different size rims, that would make my front lower than it is now, which is already scrapping like mad...

thanks all for your opinions...
