mattdavies Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I have been looking at wheels and I have seen people run wider 17" rear wheels and then 18" fronts but what about running wider 18" rears with 17" fronts ? Would this handle alright ?? Anyone done it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philly_1 Lex Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Depends on the diameter of the wheels to be honest. Also what you are suggesting is more of a "drag" style setup. usually on supras its the exact opposite as the 17 is used on the rear to fit more tire under the stock rear arches...

spikedjack Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 You'd think it would aid turn in, but I honestly couldn't say for certain as I'm no expert on handling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Anybody else got any idea on what this will handle like ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 People run smaller rears for grip as there is more sidewall. I don't think you would see much difference on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
