maybe a dumb question but has anyone done this double staggered set up, 18x8 wheels up front with 255/45-tires and 19x9.5 set out back with 275/40 tires? im wondering if i will have something looking super stupid and driving like major crap or would this be a very good balance of looks and handling? fyi the 18s are 23lbs and 19s are 27lbs...please chime in

***i also posted this in the handling section, its kind of a two part question***

Porsche used to do that and some other Euro cars.
The bodywork shape kinda welcome it...

On a Mustang, one would have to see to be sure.

I've seen it done before. Looks good. I did the opposite with my '05 and did 18's up front and 17's in the rear, for drag radials.

17s on the back for dd? or just track days...

DarkFireGT

DD. I initially got them just for the track, but ended up diggin the look.

That's what you're looking at. The fronts are 18x9 with 255/45 KDW2's. The rears are 17x9 with M&H 325/45.

wow that does look good, seems wierd but it really works...how tall is the rear tires?

DarkFireGT

28 inches. I'm talking about the mineral grey car I posted... my red '07 is 18's, also running over 28" out back.

Come to think of it...
We have a local guy here, also a member, user name "The Magician".
He has 20s up front and 22s at back on a Torchred GT with chrome wheels.
I saw the car more than once (came to my house too) and it doesn't look bad, interestingly enough...
