    mauls 71 riv

    I have a 71 riviera, and bought new wheels for it. I bought 18" wheels in the rear and 17's up front. I want to achieve a medium low profile look, but dont want it to be way to low. I want a wider tire in the back then up front.

    The front wheel is a 17x7 with a +6 offset, and a 4.5 backspacing
    The rear wheel is a 18x8 0 offset and 4.5 backspacing.

    I want wide wheels in the rear, to atleast fill out the wheel well. and I'd like to avoid any wheel rub up front.

    Tires i'm looking at are:
    255x40x17 &
    275x40x18

    Will these work for what I'm wanting?

    Thanks in advance
