  • Anyone have 2 different size wheels for front and rear?

    I'm wondering if anyone has experimented with 2 different wheel sizes..for example 17's or 18's in the front and 19's in the rear. Does it look decent or not... I know the Vette has them, but I don't think they are that noticeable. Give some opinions on this. Thanks!

      I have vette wheels on my car, 17s up front and 18s out back. I dont seem to have any problems with them. You can also keep the actual tires close in overall diameter by making the tire height less (lower profile) for the 18. I havent run into any problems with mine though.

        When I get my suspension work done it will have a nice rake to it with the front lower than the front for weight transfering [img]smile.gif[/img]

          On the Pontiacs the rear fenders are flared quite a bit more than the fronts. Staggered sizes (at least width/offset) are a must if you want the outside of the wheel to fit flush front and back.

          I wouldn't go more than 1" difference in diameter from front to rear, that would probably look bad.
