Default Question for Jim

Well, first off what is your opinion of going with 17s in the front and 18s in the rear?
If I was going to go with 17s in the front and 18s in the rear, what size wheels should I go for, and also what would be my best bet on tires?
Thanks for all your help. I've done a few searches and seen a few of your comments but I thought it'd be ok to contact you directly and get a direct answer. Thanks again and have a great day

I would just prefer to see the answers all laid down in front of me. Which is why I would rather ask here then call him. Also, maybe someone else would be in the same predicament one day and stumble across this thread.

I woulod just pick one size or the other. Go will all 17" or all 18". The tire sizes would really depend on the wheels and the offsets though. For the rear you would be in either a 245/35R18 or 255/35R18. The front would be 225/40R18 in the 18" all the way around.
If you really want you can stagger the wheels but I don't see a performance reason to do it. If you like the look it won't hurt the car.
If I can help let me know.

Would 17x7s possibly work all the way around? How bad would this hurt handling? Thanks again for all the help
