If you put a skinny tire on the front, it might look OK. But having a stock width rear tire on an 18" wheel, along with the stock 19" front, it just looks wierd. Different yes....but weird.

Thanks, I think it'd look great too but funds are limited. I wanna start with the rear first.

I appreciate the comment. I wanted to do a decent job to get a fair assessment.

+2 kudos on the PS skills tho.
Thanks for the input

I ultimately wanna do skinny rear and front tires. Something similar to the Japanese style Harleys.
