Smile Will this work?

Hey I was thinking of getting some new rims(94 gt)... would these work? Without any rubbing or anything? Also would these fit the tires I have on my car now right(tires fit on stoc rims)?

Black Deep Dish Bullitt Wheel 94-04 (17x10.5) - In the back
Black Bullitt Wheel 94-04 (17X9) - In the front?

I also can't find what these look like on SN95 black convertible????

THanks for the help!

I see no problems with this wheel combo....up front you can use a 255 or 275 tire and up to a 315 tire out back....

to be honest, if you're not racing, i'd say go for same size front and back. Easier to rotate em when the back gets bald

They are different sized rims so they can't be rotated.

He's asking if those rims would work.. so he hasn't bought them yet. Therefore I was just recommending to him to get the same size rims and make it easier on himself.

I agree. If you aren't racing, why offset? I went with 18x9's all around because there's no way in hell I'm giving up my ability to rotate, especially when tires cost $219/ea.

Ultimately, it's your call, but I vote for getting the same-size rims/tires since you aren't racing.

I'd reccommend you keep your ability to rotate with the price of tires theses days
