17’s 235/45 front 18’s 275/40 rear what y’all think??

In the market for some tires/rims for my 91 formula.

like the title says. Diff sizes front versus back. We’re talking a diff of 25.3 in front and 26.7 in back.

That’s about an inch and a half.

anyone do this? Got pics?

I do like the rear up higher a touch.

or should I just go 18’s all around and same size?

245 17 fronts and 275 18 rear I ended up going 18 all the way around for bigger brakes

That pic is of 18’s rear 17’s front? looks good. Can’t really even tell they’re different sizes. But you ended up going 18’s all around anyway. I think I’ll be doing the same.

what size tires front and back did you go with and would you do something different next time?

I’m thinking 245/40-18 front (25.7”x9.6”)
and either 275/35-18 rear (25.6”x10.8”) or
275/40-18 rear (26.7”x10.8)

I think the extra inch taller in back will give it a better stance. Plus I’ll sure that extra inch will burn away fast anyway
