Default 91 gt needs new rims.. sizes???

Have a 91 GT just gt done lowering it and now i need new rims. I was thinking about putting 18x10 rims in the back and 17x9 rims in the front. would those be a good size for my fox? and also what size tires can i put on there? Im wanting that really good look! thanks for any help. if u got pics i would love to see them too.

keep it the same size front and back... that way you can rotate them... stick with 17x9s... the bigger rims in back would look kinda dumb, and rotation would not be fun for you

pony.... I would like to know the size of tire you are running...

thestangbros.... Typically, a 9" wheel is maxed out on a fox without some fender work. This issue comes up pretty often and did again just yesterday, I think. I have saved a ***LINK*** for just this question that will answer much of the questions here.
