17's front and 15's in rear anyone?

[turbo nasty]

Was contemplating this to clear a Baer, etc large front brake upgrade and 15's in rear for better sidewall, etc. Fronts would be a 17 x 4-5ish. Saw it on a Fox body stang and it looked OK. Anyone have a similar setup in a TR? Pics would awesome. Thx
I will have the brake kit for larger tires later if i wanted. The factory brakes with better rotors, pads and lines help but still are weak sauce.

You're worried about increasing to a 13" front rotor, yet you want to run a bicycle tire on the front wheel? Save your money IMO.

im in the same boat with my disc brake conversions i will have to run the larger rims

I am doing this setup as we speak. I'm waiting to get the tires mounted. I'll post up pictures when done.

Yes, the fronts are 17x4. I am getting the lips on the rear wheels powder coated black so that both the front and back look like the same type of wheel. I have seen a few cars with the 17-15 setup and it looks really good when the right wheels are chosen. I do not like the Weld RT-S 17x4 fronts so i decided to go with the alumastar 2.0. On the other hand, I prefer the look of the 15x8 RT-S over the 15x8 alumastar. So I think with the rears powder coated to match, I will acheive the look I am going for. I should have them on sometime this week. As soon as they go on, ill post up some pictures.

I have not mounted them yet. I have to raise the coil overs a bit. I should have some installed pictures this weekend.

Thanks man. My brakes are slacking though. I planned on upgrading them but it will have to wait. My first baby is on the way.

Well congrats on the first kid. That'll definitely put the brakes on extras.

I used stock sized summit drilled slotted rotors ($60) with ssbc dual piston calipers and hydroboost, and my brakes will put you thru the windshield !!!!!
