I think it should keep the same on all four corners. I have seen people with slightly bigger wheels in the back and i think that it just looks a little awkward. However it is your car and this is just my opinion.

I love 962s, I'd keep them the same all around. Keeps the tires cheaper.



Still like the gold more.

well thats why I posted this up to get some others opinions. I'm alittle more partial to all four corners but thought of the bigger in the rear.

Re: Gunmetal sportmax 962's sizes

Those are pretty cool. I'm not much on the taller wheels on the rear, but wider in the rear looks amazing with the right stance. I had 17X9's all the way around at one time but I hated the way the car was all over the place tracking every groove in the road (all of my front suspension was brand new and tight at the time too). I have crappy roads and the 9" on the front was no fun at all. If it was mine I'd go with 17X8 up front and 17X10(or11) on the back.

Re: Gunmetal sportmax 962's sizes

well It seems like It will be more like 17x7 on fronts and 17x9s on rear. only thing is I will have to have some adapters from 120x5 to 114.3x5 its do it that way or go with a 3 inch lip on all four tires> not really liking that idea so I think Ill end up getting the adapters.
