Default Rim sizes????????

I was thinking of putting 17x9 fr500 rims in the front and 18x10 fr500 deepdish in the rear. Would this off set in size effect drivability? If I used 245/45/17 in front and 275/35/18 in rear? Any suggestions on tires sizes?

I have noticed some companies do this on their cars lately.


Any help would be great.

new2gt,
your wheels DO look tight. I'm looking at fr500's too but would it look weird to get chrome ones like that on my light silver GT? I was thinking black or chrome but I need a second opinion.

chrome looks great on every color. I thought about the black (my wife has a orange gt) but all the tunner cars are doing the black here in florida.

This is the guy who sold them to me after using them for about 2 months...
