Default Different wheel sizes.. please help..

Hey guys.. okay heres the deal.. when I went to Import Rev. in Houston, I saw this red Supra that had the same style chrome wheels on all four corners but the 2 front ones were 18's and the 2 back ones were 20's. The car had this sort of drag look cause it was slightly tilting forward or appeared to and everyone was all over it taking pics and ****.. honestly, this had to be the sweetest Supra I had ever seen..my question is this.. I know the Supra is a rear wheel drive car and since it is, it might be able to pull off something like this.. I'm going to the Acura dealer this weekend and I might be getting a Type S (RSX) which is a front wheel drive car.. how much will it cost me total to change my wheel sizes to where the front is smaller than the back, how will it look, and will it affect my performance (better or worse) Please answer these 3 question's of mine guys.. even if you have an integra.. I know you teg guys hate RSX's but still.. don't hate, I haven't bought the car yet and just help me out here instead of dissing the RSX please.. thanks in advance..

Cheap... it will only cost you your reputation as everyone that sees it asks themselves... "what kind of person would put big tires on the back of a front drive car?"

Maybe some wheelie bars to go along with 'em...

The only cost is a few brain cells.

And even though I am an Integra driver its not the RSX in this post that I hate.

I'll had to add - Front wheel drive car, larger wheels in the rear - why? You will only understeer more and you cannot effectively rotate the tires.

What's the point of putting larger wheels in the rear of a front drive car??? IMO, I think it's just stupid to do that. However, if you're doing it for show only, go for it. But just to let you know, you're in the wrong forum to ask this question 'cuz most people in this forum don't vote for that idea.
