as stated. also does anyone have pictures of this. the reason im considering this is because i have 17s in the front right now but it rubs alot and they look too big and the back looks good.

 

that would look kinda gay. only looks good on supercars.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing pictures of this.

 

yeah and wouldnt having lighter rims in the front give you some power?

 

i used to have that setup on my 92 n/a MR2, 215/45/16F 245/40/17R

works well on a mid engined rwd car to help balance the weight load and tame the low speed under and high speed oversteer

on a ff would just be pointless

 

looks gay on ff cars

 

but totally sick on mid rear cars or even some front rear cars like the supra

but definitely lame on any ff car

 

not a bad idea though, id like to see some pics...i dont think it would make that much of a difference visually...and it would free up a little extra hp that those ferris wheels are taking away!


edit: spelling

I'm pretty sure ABS would go apeshit. Anyone else have comments on the ABS factor?

 

Yeah rwd only looks good I believe the nsx comes stock with 16" 17" looks like cool ****

 

my deuce didnt have ABS so i cant comment on that but i doubt it would have much affect on the functioning but i could be wrong

 

Don't you care you need to rotate tires someday when you have to put 17 at the front and 16 at the rear?

 

good point.

 

the reason i asked is because yesterday i saw a red integra 98+ and it seemed as if he had 16 in front and 17s in the back i liked it. i've always had it in my mind though. i thought i saw him at a local HT meeting. any pic anyone?

 

G to the A to the Y

 

 

So you guys judge the way a car looks with rims by if it is FF or rwd? now thats gay. "looks good on rwd and mid cars"

thats just about the dumbest thing i've heard. He wants to know how it would look, what does the drivetrain confirguration have anything to do with the actual looks of the car.

functionallity, now thats a different story. But he didnt ask about that did he.

 

I have a similar set-up when i hit up the track.. I have my stock wheels w/out hubs in front and my 17" in back and I notice a big different in acceleration & speed when doing so.. My 17" in front slows me down 1 sec more, according to my times.. Believe or not I hit 16.2 in my 4 door Auto LS..

I have time slipz for non believerz..

 

I'm actually lookin' for the slips right now, cuz i've been flamed before cuz nobody believes.. i have 1 slip uploaded at my site, but that will just cause drama cuz my time was 15.7 and that's impossible for an auto LS, as most of u will say.. i think the timer thing wasn't calibrated right or sometihng cuz i couldnt believe it myself..

haha
