Default quick question about wheels

is it worth sixty more dollars to get 18x10 in the rear or save the sixty to put with something else and get 18x9 all the way around? some pics of staggered stangs would help. Other than saving sixty dollars the only benefit i see in getting 18x9 all the way around is that i can rotate them if i need to. these are my choices. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...07539&rd=1

If you like the look of wider meats out back then that is completely up to you because the performance benefits are negligible. In fact, widerrims out back would be heavier making them harder to turn. If you believe you'll have problems hooking with tires that fit on a 9 inch wide rim try Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials then see if that doesn't fix your problem.

i hated that gap that the back fender had, hung over the 8in rims by like 3 inches it looked like. With the bigger rims it looks like it should all flush and all

If you still want to be able to rotate and fill the fender gap, you could try1" spacers. Name brand aren't very cheap, but I wouldn't trust a crappy one. Just a thought. Also if you get 18x9 all the way around but put a widerdirectional tread on the rear, you can't rotate anyways.
