Does it make a difference if u put four stock rims on or just the front ones? 99 Zetec Atx Se 17's w/yoko H4 rubber Green and Black interior CTA + header + big pipes = very loud 89 Mustang LX (stock for now)

While the MOST performance boost (fonrt vs back) would be from putting the stock rims in front, because it is a FWD car, and that is the set of tires that must be turned, vs the backs just "following"... the BEST boost would be all around, because the backs, even though they are only "following" along, they still have mass, and added inertia..

Your best bet is to switch all four rims. Ray '99 CSVT - Silver #222/276 In a constant state of blow-off euphoria.
