OK - I've made up my mind on the rims to get for my 94GT. I'm going with the Cobra R wheels(chrome). I need help on deciding between the 17x9's in the front and 17x10.5's in the back or 18x9's all the way around. All opinions would be appreciated. Pic's would be nice to see if there are any out there. What are the pros and cons of both. Also will be getting the H&R springs to lower the stang - is this going to make a difference on the size tire? Sorry so many questions but trying to get the best look without wasting money on tires that will not work.

You should get whatever you like, but those 18s edges you closer to the ricey side of life, if you know what I mean. I guess I'm just not a rubber band fan.  ------------------

Nah, 18s aren't too bad...you can still see plenty of shoe on an 18. Go past that, then you really start getting into the "rubber band" scene.------------------

I would go with 17x9 in the front and 17x10 in the rear.

yea man as long as they arent bro'ed out like some neepers or something i think that 18s would totally be the better option...i have 18" speedy-ravens all the way around and i could ask for a better fit...i think too much wheel well action is no good...less appealing
