  • Square wheels and staggered tires

    Generally on cars the front wheel arches are taller than the rears, and I'm not sure how to fill the gap without a ton of rake. I'm redoing my wheels to be 9" all around. If I did 215/45 in front to fill the gap and 205/40 in the rear, how goofy will it look?

    Is your car FWD? If yes, go for it. If no, naw. reverse staggered tires on a rwd wouldn't make any sense. Think I'd just get square tires and make the rears fit.

      It's fwd. you can kinda see in my signature the fitment. Kinda lol. It's 1-finger tight in the rear but like 3 fingers up front. I can put the new tires up front and probably* not raise it, but I would definitely need to raise the rear and that would look awful.

        Yeah, it wouldn't be a problem looks wise or otherwise then. I enjoy reverse staggered wheel specs/tire specs on FWD's. Plus moar grip.
