Just wondering of the implications of having a larger and wider wheel on the rear compared to the front. Like alot of the supras and mr2, skylines etc.

Would there be any issues??

Oh rite......... but thats cause you have all that power to put thru the back wheels!

What sizes are they?

front 7.5 x 18 (225-40-18)
rear 8.5 x 18 (255-35-18)

i'm no expert in this area but? 17' front and 18' rear won't this cause problems with the "ABS"....

Sure I saw a US car on 18's at the front and 19's at the back.

No idea on the ABS issues here, that's all way beyond me!

As for the widths, I also have wider alloys on the back than on the front

Really........i never knew that

Aido and Scott.

Thanks for your input!

Scott, do the cars you bring over have arches rolled or modified for this set up?? What sizes and offsets on the rear have you seen?

[/quote] i admit i was a bit slow with this one? the rim diametre 17/ 18 is permissable so long as the tyre aspect ratio is off-set, in that case the rolling radius should be held within 3% p/m and not effect the ABS...
