After having the stock bullits on for a while they've grown on me so i've been thinking will 18x10 deep dish rear bullits look funny with the stock 17x8s up front or should I get the 17x10 in the rear? If any one has pictures with either combo could you please post them thanks.

I had 17x9s in the front, 18x10's rear for a while. It all depends on the tire sizes and the suspension setup. The stock 235/55/17s will look stupid though with the 18s in the back. There will be a fair amount more rubber in the front and it will look "off".

Vettes have been using different size f/r for years. I see mo issue if the tires are sized properly.

It all depends on the design of the wheel. I tried 18 in front and 17 in the rear but it was with a 5 spoke wheel. The 17's in the rear didn't look right because the actual spokes were a little thicker than the front 18's. I got a pair of 18's for the rear and will just use the 17's at the track. I think if the wheel is a multi-spoke or something like that it would look fine.

I had my stock 235/55R17 up front, and some 285/40R18 in the rear. They looked decent, the only thing I had a problem with is that the front tires looked like truck tires compared to the rear.

you need to just make sure you match the tire side wall and it will look good. i had 17x8.5 and 18x10 on my '04 gt and it looked great.
