Default Wheels?

fast advice required!!!

Can you folks help me? got 02 Gt vert in Laser red, my question is, which wheel set up would look best, want to go with any of the following but just cant imagine which will look best!

18 x 10 deep dish bullitts at rear
18 x 9 standard bullitts at front.

18 x 10 deep dish bullitts at rear.
17 x 9 standard bullitts at front.

17 x 9 deep dish bullitts at rear.
17 x 8 standard bullitts at front.

or 18 inch bullitts all round.

See my Problem!!!!!!!!!!

Do you think i would need to lower the car at all, if so how much? i have a Magnapack cat back fitted.would any of these set ups interfear with this.

Go with the 18 x10 rear, 18 x9 front if money isn't an issue (looks great). You need to ask yourself though, how much $$$ you want to invest in tires. Also, if you go with a set up that is different from front to back, tire rotation suffers. The easiest, and most cost effective in the long run is equal wheel/tire size on all four corners. cheers!

if money isn't an issue and you don't mind not being able to not rotate your tires, then deep dish in back, and i'd go with 18s front and back. I got 18x9s all the way around and am going to use 1.5 inch spacers in the rear to bring it flush, that way i can rotate my tires

Def get some lowering springs too....a prokit drop would work great with the 18s.

me personally I would get the 18x9 18x10 combo in black with the chrome lip, that should look sweet on a vert with tinted windows. definitely get it lowered too.

18x9 and 18x10, but tires are going to be pretty expensive. Chrome looks better I think on black.
