What do you think? Cool or no way
I am thinking of running 15" wheels and tires up front and 17" wheels in the back of my 4/6 dropped 68. Has anyone seen something like this. I've seen things like 18's and 20' before but never 15/17 combo. What's your opinion. I would be using Chrome Corvette style rallys.
Should I just go 15" in the back to match the front?

The only thing I would be concerned about would be that your front wheels would have much more sidewall than the rear. Just make sure they are in the same porportions. I've got 18's and 20's on one of my trucks.
You might be able to go 16's and 18's...???

I'd go 17 all the way around with a little bigger tire on the rear

Get us some photos of whichever combination you choose!
I've always like corvette rally rims.

Chances are it’s not a daily driver, but you wouldn't be able to rotate the tires.

I think it would look funky....you would have to run a little bitty tire on the front to make the tires look even. I'd go with 17's all around. JMO.
