Wheels: 17'' rears and 15'' fronts question

[toofastforyou]

Because of my new Baer rear disc brakes having a larger diameter, I can't use 15'' wheels anymore and don't have any other choice but to go to 17'' wheels (at least for the rear). I was wondering if there are some other members here who have done this and if it looks nice while keeping the 15'' at the front? My wheels are Billet Specialties' "Street Lites"...
Thanks,

Claude.

P.S: If possible, pictures would be appreciated!

"NICE REAR" ?? Mmmm...you're probably talking about my car's new differential right?...

a 2" difference in diameter between the front and rear will look kinda goofy.

what rear brakes did you get? if they are 12" or smaller i'm sure there are 16" wheels that will clear the rear brakes, and maybe even some 15" wheels..

I just got a message from Rick at Baer brakes and he says that Weld RT-S ' 15" should fit (see link)...The only thing I don't like about 16" wheels is that there are not as many choices for tires as there are for 15" and also 17" wheels.
thanks,

Claude.

Claude - Scot W. had some interesting info about tire sizing recently - you might want to look at it:

Well finally, it appears that I won't have to with 17"s after all. This week, I found out that Weld Racing makes a 15" wheel that will fit with my new disc brakes, thanks to Rick @ Baer brakes (WHITE T on this site). Here's a new thread I created about this subject:

Thanks everyone who tried to help,
