Default Opinion on new wheels

I plan on getting some 18 in bullets

http://www.mustangtuning.com/anthrac...8x9-18x10.html

Now should i get 18x10 for the rear and not be able to rotate, or should i get 18x9 all around?

Will there be a huge difference? Any opinions appreciated.

My car is vista blue gt, i plan on getting stripes painted on the samecolor as the rim.

Thanks again

I recently got 18x9 black bullitts, and am very happy with the look. I think the 18x10 will definitely look great in the rear, however the reason i didn't go for 18x10 was the price for tires, since i drive about 25000 a year, and the rear tires would just be too expensive.

here is a link to my 18x9 picture thread. https://mustangforums.com/m_848832/tm.htm

i'd say get 18X9 all the way around because when your in snow and wet conditions you wont have as bad skidding and stuff because the rims are more narrow and you will be able to rotate. about the only reason to have bigger rims in the back is looks and drag racing

i found the car already had 18/9 all the way around but would have rather had the 18/10 for looks. 1st thing i ask was why they put narrower rims on the 05 hehe.
but i just wanted GT at the time and a guy ordered the car i wanted and then didn't get it when it arrived so i got it for sticker. ohh i would have rather got the black seats but i can live with grey hehe.
