Why not just go 18s all the way around r 17s and drop the **** outta it? Im about to get some 17x9 black bullitts to throw some ET slicks on and so i can run my 18s on the front and slicks out back

Yep, that's what I'm running. 18x9 up front 17x9 out back.

Looks damn good. You can tell the rim in the back is smaller but the tire height makes up for it. I like!

IMO it looks horrible with that cervinis kit. Not bad for the track, but for daily driving, i think it ruins it. 20s are the way to go with the cervinis kit. JMHO.

Different strokes for different folks. I'm not a fan of 20's at all. I have the 18's, but it's not worth the effort of putting them on, since the car sees the track more than it sees the street. I like the big meaty tires out back.

yes but you have to fabricate it up your self. I used the center cap back that came with the American Muscle rims and the front of the stock center caps and cut it to the right hight and glued it together. No problems what so ever and you cant even tell.

When I first read what white07 said I cringed...but...........DAMN. I love it.

I plan on some DD 18x10 Bullitts for my rear (With lots of rubber, fat and wide) that will match my front stockers. But, if I end up getting a deal on some non-DD wheels that are still wide I might go with something like this. Throw those wheels on your Torch Red car so I see what it looks like without the body kit!
