I have some 17's that came with the car I was going to sell, but I won't get much, so I may aswell hang onto them and see if I can use the rears

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone tried staggering rim sizes on an SC or similar? 16' front, 17' rear etc Potential handling problems?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes (fitting the Ronals next week hopefully), but I like a bit of variety :-) I have some 17's that came with the car I was going to sell, but I won't get much, so I may aswell hang onto them and see if I can use the rears

POST 4Original post

Magnus did it on Paddington Bears 930 and back in the day we used to do it on drift cars when tyres were too dear (or we were too poor!). Usually we had the larger wheels on the front though... as long as the rolling diameter is the same, it works. I think there is a Sportscar or two on the market that comes like that from factory.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Need some rake mate! Cheers oh knowledgeable one! ;-)

POST 6Original post

Some cars had larger diameter wheels on the back ex factory, but that styling seems to have passed. It never became a mainstream styling trend.  I think some of the post 2000 GM muscle cars had it as an option, and possibly a BMW or two from memory. No big deal, as long as it looks right. 15's and 16's probably not. 16 & 17 or 17 & 18 better. Where there is a big expanse of sheetmetal around the rear arch area it doesn't look bad at all, A la Camaro, with it's bold aggressive lines and barge arse.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Mmmmm, need to work on that! And cleaning up the shed!

POST 8Original post

having trouble finding rear tyres wide enough in 16"? i did this with my car (275's on the back on a 17" rim). looks goofy, don't think the handling was upset - on the street at least. when people ask me, i just tell them the 935 had 16x9" front and 19x12 rears so obviously this makes my car part 935
