This car:

With these rims:

17x8.5's in the front with 275/40's

18x9.5's out back with 275/40's also.

Let me know what yall think....rims should be in in a couple of weeks. (Just ordered)

Well i like em. They'll look really good with the sheme you have on your car. My qustion is... if you have already ordered them... what does our opinion matter? What if we all said they sucked. You still obiouslly like them otherwise you wouldnt' have ordered them.

Not so much the rims, but the tire combo. 275/40's front and rear on two different size rims. guess i should have clarified. It should still look alright right? Just with a one inch difference in height.

will 275's even fit on an 8.5" wheel??

Why not just go factory: 245/45/17 on the front and 275/40/18 on the back?

Also, looks like that picture is from the OEWheels guys out of Sarasota, FL, you won't be disappointed if thats who you bought them from. I know the guy that owns the place and he gets some good ****.
