It's cool. I ended up getting 18's in the back. It was that or wait 3 months for 17's all the way around. That was not an option.

Ended up getting:
245/45WR17 front
275/35WR18 rear

That's not a very uncommon setup... for people with money

How's it going to look, IMO? I've never been one for mis-matched sized wheels like that.

It looks fucking sweet on Z's. I think most people do it just for looks. I tried to ask the other Z guys if there was any performance gain to it, but I didn't get a response. I think they do it because it looks

. I did it because I can't wait 3 months and didn't want to compromise on the wheel selection. It was either 57PRO's or NISMO's.

Yea, I can really understand the waiting part. On another note, I think I found a guy who can build-up my motor real nice for ~$2k... I'll be cooking with propane soon
