16's in the front, 17's in the rear....... yay or nay?
currently have some 17's and will probably get the exact same rims but 16's instead, since the 17's keep ripping my fender liner out.
Would this look alright?
i have the team dynamics motorsport rims in metallic gunmetal. very light weight, but want to go smaller in the front.
so what do u guys think?

so if your gonna gave the same overall diameter... hows that gonna solve your tire rubbing problem. your just trying to make excuses for your rice tendancies.

How ******* rice-tastically slammed is your car? Or do you just have a fat girlfriend?

You dont have a RWD so go with 16's all the way around.

Lately a lot of V-dub guys are doing the bigger tires in the back thing so it's not as F'd up an idea as everyone is saying, but those guys are mainly putting wide tires in the back and doing wide body kits. It looks badass but I don't think you're going to like the way it handles once you're done, I mean unless you REEEEAALLY like understeer. 
Nothing wrong with trying something to make your car different from everyone else but I don't think you're going to get good results in the performance end. Why are your tires rubbing with 17s? Don't usually run into that unless you're dragging the ground or running something bigger than an 18.

Re: Re: (DA9GUY-637)
Just because you have 17's does not mean it'll rip out your fender liner. Either you are too low or have the wrong size tires. Because my guess would be that you're wheels are no wider than 7.5" and I know plenty of people who use that with no problems.
