Default Wheel Poll/Questions

ok, i got a 95 GT w/ about 400hp.
im looking into getting new rims but im not sure on what size.

im worried about traction issues in the rear...more with the rear trying to pass me up when i turn hard.

its a toss between 17's & 18's

FR500 Black rims
17 x 9 in front 17 x 10.5 in rear
or
18 x 9 in front 18 x 10 in rear

i want to go w/ 17's and have 10's in the rear but they dont make the rear like that...so i need yals help!
will the 18's mess w/ acceleration vs the 17's to make it noticible in the quarter? and will 10.5 rub in the rear?

I've never had the back end of my car come around.... unless that was what I was trying to do.

17x9/17x10.5
275/40/17 - 315/35/17
lowered... they dont rub unless I hit a rather large bump and im going fast AND turning... all at the same time
