17" fronts, 18" rears

Post by ikedogg »

ok i don't know much about suspension... however, i do know that i don't want to lower the car too much (perhaps 1.3") but the rear wheel well (say that 3 times fast) is so huge i was wondering if putting 17s on the front with 18s on the rear would create any problems with offset or anything?
and konstantine is walking down the stairs...

would it cause problems? Like performace wise (considering you rims where light weight)<P>If you look on BMZ, 300zx, RX-7s, Skylines and most rearwheel drive cars often have a bigger rim on the back... i think it makes it look more "muscular", but might look dumb if people know you have a FWD car
