I wanna put 18in. rims in the front and 19in. rims in the back
is it possible, i have a 98 SH, I wanna know of any concerns before i get it

depends on how low your car is. i have 18's all around with a 2.5 inch drop and i scratch when i got rear passengers. so you figure it out

no drop, stock suspension, any problems with the ATTS, Would the frenders need to be rolled

If it were a rear wheel dirve car then I'd understand, but I would stick with one size.

cause it will look good if the back wheels are a little higher than the front, and eventually i will drop it, but not just yet

actually it won't look good. with the bigger wheel comes thinner tires... and when your car has thicker tires in the front, it's gonna look pretty odd.

Yeah, your car wont be higher in the rear with larger wheels, because the tires are going to compensate and you are going to have the same overall diameter...or a malfunctioning speedometer for the mismatch in the front tires......

Save your money, sell the lude and buy a Plymouth Prowler.

REALLY BIG REAR WHEELS

I think you will have problems with the ATTS system since it'll read huge differences in weight between the two. But I agree with everyone else, it'll look weird.

like the mercedes kompressor. also.. prelude just doesn't look good with that suicide drop.

Along with all the problems listed above,
your tires will wear out unevenly due to the fact
you cant rotate them!! Front will wear out faster.

joedaddy · 07-31-2001, 02:24 AM

my friend in his RX7 has 18" in back...and 17" in front...

looks damn good...but he regrets doing it cuz he can't rotate the
tires...meaning it has to get new tires often!!!
