Default Wheel opinions/Tire size suggestions

I am thinking about getting the 18x10 deep dish bullitts to replace my rear wheels and tires instead of the 17x10.5 bullitts. Do you think the stock 17's in the front with the 18x10 deep dish's in the rear will look good? I have H&R Sport Springs and it just looks like the wheel in the rear is to small for the well. My brother and I both agreed that an 18x10 would look much better and take up more space in the rear. If I were to go with the 18x10's does anyone have a tire size suggestion? If I were to get the 17x10.5's then I would get 315/35/17 tires. Any suggestions help. And here is a think to the wheels I want to replace my stock rear wheels with... http://mustangtuning.com/deepdish.html

Above may have been hard to follow but basically what I want to know is if my stock 17's in the front with 18x10 deep dish bullitts in the rear would look good. And I also need tire size suggestions on the 18x10 deep dish wheels (I want something wide like 315).

it looks like 315/30-18s would be the closest i used the miata tire size calculator http://www.miata.net/cgi-bin/tirescgi

im pretty sure the vettes run a 18-19 combo or 19-20 and it looks damn good, not sure about the stang tho

Hmm....I think that should look pretty cool.

Make sure when you get tires though, that they have the same profile. Because a beefy profile on the 17's and lower profile ones on the 18s would look ghey, go with some 315's or something.

You might have speedo problems though.....but overall, it would look sweet.

Anyone else want to put their $0.02 in? I need all the opinions I can get. Also if anyone has a pic of a stang running 18's in the rear and 17's in the front then please post it.
