Agreed, for what purpose do you want to hve a bigger back tire out of curiousity?

you know, it WOULD give it that muscle car look/stance. I actually thought about keeping my stock ACR springs in the back when I trans'd my 1st gen rt springs onto my car... I just did a test of it, and it actualyl looked pretty mean... more like the old 60's-70's muscle cars.

Honestly, I think if done RIGHT, it could look nice.... do you have any lowering springs right now? because it may end up looking cheesy... I dunno.

but then you have the whole fwd trying to be a rwd thing...wouldnt go over too well i dont think, but to each their own!
one thing i'd like to point out, is that the front wheels are going to look wider because they're spaced further apart, if you look at the front of the car, the rear wheels are sucked more into the fenderwell, i'm not sure if that's what you're referring too, because you said the fronts looked wider, but you wanted to put a higher profile tire on, which means a larger sidewall and not width...give me a little more insight about what exactly you're talkin about. :wink:

I have 205/55/-15 on my stock steelies. I had them on my snowflakes before I sold them. Thats a good size to run. I would not stagger the size unless your are drag racing.
