Default Need help on wheels

Just wondering if it would be possible to do a 19X10 in the back and an 18X9 in the front to give it the same kind of stance you see on some vettes with the back wheel being bigger than the front.

Yes and No...

Yes - As long as you have the correct offset for the wheels and can find tires the right size, then it should not be a problem.

No - I think the Corvette's rear tires have a larger diameter than the front and the car's rear wheel wells are designed for the larger diameter tires. Not sure how that would look on a Mustang.

Yeah you make a good point there...might have to get some adjustable coilovers for the car and mess with them a bit and see if i can get the car in the right stance. If anyone has ever done that wheel set up there let me know...pictures would be good. It could give my mustang a pretty bad *** look if it comes out right

19 x 10's will be a lot of meat to push, better think about that as well. I don't think you'll be able to get that wide, you may have to "flare out" the rear fenders, something I would not reccomend.
