Default Is it wrong........

I asked this question in an other thread, but I didn't get a clear answer, so I hope I can get some help to my question. I see that most people on here; tend to get a larger wheel size in the rear. Is it wrong that I got 9.5 wheel size all around (275_REAR 255_FRONT = TIRES)

Wrong???....NO. Adviseable???...NO
Using the same size wheels all around will cause problems with the traction control system for one. It will also negatively (IMHO) affect the suspension ie turning radius. v

wrong....having the same size wheels wont do anything. The stock 03-05 touring AT and performance are 8in all around.

tire sizes are what effects the electronics

Don't listen to that guy, he doesn't know what he's talking about, wheel size has no effect on the TCS, its tire size that is important

ok retarded question, but wouldn't it be the same size since you are stretching the 255 tire, if that makes any sense

Not sure what you are asking, but a 255 on a 9.5" wheel isn't a stretch at all
