14 Inch rims in rear with 16s in front?

What do you guys think? Would it look too stupid? The rear rims would be 14 inch Cragar SS Deep dish rims. So they stick out farther. Theyre only a 245,but my front tires are a 215.What do you think?
Me and my dad are arguing over it thats why. Thanks

Jegs has a java app in there wheels section. You can even pick car model and paint. Give it a shot on there.

Sounds unproportional to me. IMO the only way that different size wheels look good is when you have the bigger ones in the back and smaller ones up front. With the big ones up front it would look to much like one of those ghetto cruisers.

Stupid. Unless you have some taller hoosiers in the back to compensate for size difference.

14" wheels? eh don't do it that's tiny.

take a look with 2 of each on, have two craigers on like the passenger side and the originial crosslass on the driver and look at each side and see which looks better to you. thats how i do it!

14 inch wheels are always fail. They belong on early 80s Civic hatchbacks.
