I was wanting to get new rims and trying to decide on 17's or 18's. During this i noticed the 18s look perfect in the back and the 17s look perfect in the front so i was wondering what people that about putting 17s on the front and 18s on the back. Any oppions?

It is pointless of you have no intention of racing. The biggest problem is you will be going through tires like it is cool cuz you will not be able to rotate them. Staggering tires is common for race cars, but, for street cars it is not really worth it.

seen it done before on rear wheel drive cars for the extra grip, but considering you dont have a RWD car, it is pointless.

In my opinion 17's look better, but it's your car, do what you want with your money

you can't rotate 'em, but I think they'd look pretty cool
