Default 17" Rims in the Front and 20" in the rear

So before you get to typing that I'm crazy, hear me out.

In alot of concept car drawings the small tire is larger then the front.
I've seen the smaller/larger setup on street cars and I always liked it.

Someone please explain why this is a bad setup?
I am no tire and wheel expert.
17" by widest recommended in the front (thinking 245 or 255)
19 or 20" by widest recommended in the rear (thinking 305 or 315)

I'm willing to buy an aftermarket suspension kit and some camber hardware & fender rolling, to get this to work.

Thanks in advance.

DO 19/20 not 17/20. Itll look quite retarded that way.

you'll have some crazy oversteer to try and get rid of..

rear sidewall will have no play whereas front will have lots of play and grab.

1" stagger for rear engine cars because the smaller sidewall holds the weight of car well.

stick to a 1" stagger at most, otherwise its going to feel weird driving, very oversteer happy

this setup you're talking about is gonna look super-weird. at least do 18" in the front, but nothing more than an 1" difference in width for the rim.

Default So, not a good idea after all.....

Thanks for the responses.
It might look good in a drawing, but it's not a good idea in reality.

DSPIEL the fact that you know where to get animated dancing deodorant let's us all know how much time you must have on your hands.

Next time I need some animated cursors I'll look you up bit^h.

Guys who talk sh*t on boards are the same guys who sit in the corner very quiet in person. It's safe behind that keyboard huh?

What you never asked a question genius?

If you want you can put 15 inch wheels in the front, and 20 inch in the rear. Go for it.
