here is a question.

I keep on toying with idea of running larger wheels in the back and smaller in the front.

What do you think the better setup would be? or do you think it's a bad idea?

18 front and 19 rear

or

19 front and 20 rear


btw if any of you wheel ****** have an ability to get one of these setups on the car and take some pictures so I (and the rest of the driver) can see how it looks that would be awesome.

Don't the rolling circumferences need to be within a certain amount for the VDC/ABS to work properly?

i wouldnt go with the 18/19 combo, gotta go 19/20 or that 20/21 looks dope too. The sidewall heights will be closer in the larger sizes.

OFFSET calculator:

hey Dranom, i have a question(s)
k im doing the usual set up 19x9.5 +17 and 19x10.5 +18 T1S with 245/35 &275/35 in either fk452 or general uhp since its reviews is pretty good.

since these 2 tires are considered large, should i run 265 or 30 series in the rear? i know 275/35 is popular but i see some pics with these big sidewalls and they dont look good to me. i guess i kinda want the lip to stick out very little but i want to make sure the tire doesnt go past the fender so i can maybe tuck it a little. i will have fenders rolled. whatdda think'? thanks
