smallest front rim size?

I need to get tires soon cause my stock pirellis are dry rotted and leaking now slowly getting worse.

I seen 1 or 2 where they have 18 on the back and I'm guessing 16 on the front? LOVE the way it looks but it don't seem like it would fit with the breaks but i don't know.

and also what would be a good tire for the front that grip good and that don't wear to fast. I drive 100 miles a day for work and play on the weekends so i want best of both worlds lol

Do not put different sizes on the car for street driving. That would not look good. But yes 16's will fit on an ss/sc IIRC. As far as tires, you will get a million different opinions on that subject. I personally have General G-MAX AS-03s in a 225/40zr18. Great grip and they wear really well

Idk i love the look of drags on the front either way especially in the winter i won't keep them on, ill have an extra set but ill have the same rims, just 18in in rear and 16s in front.

Your speed sensors will be off if you are street driving with two different wheel sizes. If you like the raked look...look into buying coilovers and adjusting them accordingly.

But on a SS/SC...most 16" wheels will fit. Its really a matter of offset and spoke design

ill have the same tire size just different rim size, so more tire up front so it shouldn't mess with the speed sensor at all .
