Default Back tires bigger than the front?

I found some white ls meshes on craigslist. I asked the guy for the size of the tires that come / w the meshes and he said that he doesn't know at the moment but he will check later. All he knows is that the back tires are bigger than the front.

My question to you is that if I put those on my 02 Civic EX Coupe, will there be any problems that i'll come across? Also if theres problems w/ his tires, could I put the meshes on my current tires? They're the tires that came w/ my steelies from the dealership. They're 195/60R15.

You could put them on there as long as you make sure you run the same size on both rears and same size on both fronts. Wouldnt cause any problems really. If its only one size off you may not even be able to tell. You could also use your stockers, those would fit LS mesh Wheels not problem, Thats what I run on mine

You wont have any problems except rotating them. I have run staggered on both FWD and RWD.

if you have ABS, depending on the difference on OD, ABS module could go crazy due to RPM difference. mine threw ABS light as soon as a mile using a 205/50R16 in conjunction with 205/55R16

Ran 225/45/R17 in the front and 215/55/R17 in the rear for awhile (don't ask) with no problems besides a camber kit and fender rolls.

They didnt really look too bad, Im lowered about 2inch MOL but They filled the well up nice and didnt look too terrible either, the did rub a bit on larger bumps, thats the only downside
