Is having different rim size front and back bad? - Honda Prelude Forum

I have a set of Enkei RPM2s recently refinished but then found out one is cracked. It's been super tough to find a single wheel the exact size as the others 17x7 38 offset. So I found 2 brand new 17x8 35 offset. My car is not lowered though I plan to get GC coilovers with Konis to lower it a bit maybe 1-1.5 inches all around. I am not sure if it's a bad idea to have different wheel size from front to back? I would put the 17x8 in the back. Any info on whether or not it's ok and safe to do is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

It's perfectly safe, but it looks tacky to have a staggered setup on a fwd car.

Thanks guys. I think I have a lead on a 17x7 so hopefully I can get it.
