Hey Meanie, I heared several things about using these staggered tire sizes, cuz I want to do something similar myself. I asked around about using a 225-45-17 on a 17x8 front and 245-40-18 on a 18x8 rear. A couple people told me it would fit and a few people recieved my question like there was an onion growing out of my ear[:0]. Buddy at Tire Rack told me this combination would work, but I may get a little "understeer". A guy at
Just Tires also told me it would work, and it would be a cool look for my car. I got an email from someone else who's running the same tire setup and said it was just fine (THANKS, MEEKS![^])If a 245-45-17 would work for the rear, that would make your rear sidewalls a wee bit taller than your front sidewalls. It would raise the a$$ end of your car slightly, and your car will be endowed with the fine gift of UNDERSTEER! (I still don't completely understand it.) Anyway, I think your car would look COOL!
