Default rims question

yea, my stock rims are chrome, i guess if i were to go with the same size all the way around i'd go with 17's cause with those you can 10.5 inches wide on the rears instead of 10 with the 18's, not much difference but i like to look of really fat *** tires

I'm putting 10.5" Cobra Chrome (rear only) with on w/315's over the winter! ...why not stick with your stock Cobra wheels up front!

9" all the way around would be easier. but 10.5 or 11" wide out back is Sooo much cooler.

I would think for rotating your wheels/tires.....go with the 10.5" wheels out back!

When I put rims on my car I wanna do the same thing 9x17 fronts and 10.5x18 rear. Several cars come nowadays with different rim diameters and widths making them where you cant rotate the tires. I like the look myself
