Why do some Z's have really wide tires on the back?

Patrick Bateman,
When you see a Z with wider rear tires, it is actually an optical illusion caused by the reflective paint job and the front tires. See, the rear tires are actually quite thin. It is the front tires that are super wide.
The reason people stagger their tire setup with wider tires in the front is mainly for performance reasons than anything else. In fact, the wider the front tires, the better your handling.
For an added performance bonus, spinners are recomended. The constant spinning of the outer rim allows your front tires to spin faster than the rears, thus giving you up to a whole second off your 1/4. Spinners, however, are expensive.

Alas most peoples ignorance seldom surprises me........
And in his case dont be surprised this time. It is ignorance.
Man I feel so sorry for this guy, Patrick just try to think about the question a little bit before typing. What they are all trying to say is you have to give a little bit more information in your questions. Take this advice and hopefully it will help you in the future.
