That would give the car a "jacked up" look,fine for '72.
Personally,for 2006 it would look like s#!t.

It would depend on the material of the rim if it would make them harder to start/stop due to the rotating mass. If the material is the same as the stock rims, it will be harder. If you increase/decrease the diameter of the rear tire, you will also have to recalibrate the speedometer. I would say to put 17s in the rear & 18s in the front. This way the rear tires would have a larger sidewall, which would hook up better than low profile tires.

i had to do that the other day when i went to the track.
but i was oposite, i had the 18's in teh front, and the stockers on the rear....looked kinda gay,...but then maybe it was becuase they were different rims.
but keep them all the same size man
