Default 18/10 rear tires

basically i need more traction so i want bigger rear tires but i dont want to spend the money for a new set of rims......i would really like to keep my car as stock looking as posible but have a real beast.....i want a sleeper! i was looking a these,

http://www.americanmuscle.com/anthra...8x9-18x10.html

i want to put these on the rear but keep the stock 17/8 inch wheels in the front.....that way i dont have to spend money for 4 new rims and ill hopefully still have the stock look. do yall think this will still keep the car looking stock or is it just goin to be stupid looking? i also figure i could put slicks on the stock rims that were on the back for when i go to the track.

any input will help,
Nathan

I did the same thing did not want to spend the extra money on 4 rims and tires so tried to find the closes match to OEM 18" polished rims. I bought the 18x10 deep dish bullits from american muscle. The rims are nice but not really a match. It still does not look to bad although. What does your stock rims look like?

mine are the 17 inch polished, the ones that r that grey metallic color. the only problems i had with them was i wasnt sure they were goin to match and i wasnt sure if the 17 inch wheels in the front and 18's in the back would look funny.

It won't look right. You got a lot of mods already, spend the extra and get a new set of rims and tires.
