if you have ABS dont do it...it will mess up your brakes because of the different diameters of wheels.

If your going to do it you should go with a deliberate differance. Like 16'' and 18'' so it doesn't look like an accident. Also you would have to have adjustibe coilovers. If not, you will have the *** in the air and look of an american muscle car. Keeping it level is the best way. It will be a good look, and you will stand out in a croud. Good luck.

Isn't that something you do on a rear wheel drive car because it serves a purpose? Like putting 17x8's on the front and 18x10's on the back? Why the hell do you want bigger rear tires on a FWD car? That makes no sense

actually on a FWD car you'll need bigger tires in the front than back. its looks weird tho. it messes with my eyeballs in the photoshop. my eyes do not like it. makes me dissy.
