Does anybody run 18's in the front and 19's in the rear, or does anybody have pics of somebody who does

There were pics on the forum several years ago of someone running 17's front and 18's rear. If you plan to keep the proper overall diameter for the wheels, all you notice is more sidewall in the front than in the rear.

Im thinking of having the rear wheel / tires slightly larger in diameter. I think if the back sits a tad higher than the front that would give it a pretty aggressive look....don worry i dont think it would be noticable to the naked eye, just a little something

17/18 is common. dunno if ive seen 18/19
personally, i think FD's look funny with staggered diamaters. the body shape is pretty flat. FC's on the other hand i like staggered. FC body makes the rear wheels look smaller...

also, i dunno why people put so much stock into equal tire diamaters. who cares! uneven sidewalls are much more obvious than uneven diameters..

I've got 18/19's... no noticeable difference... in fact, I thought they were 19's all around until I went to go buy new tires. Ended up getting a whole new set of rims + tires though... 19's all around this time.

thanks for the pic.....now what about that roof? Did you get a custom t top put in....any flex in the car since?

Sorry, not a lot of info on it. It was done by the owner before the guy I bought it from. Rumored to have been done by a shop out in Cali. The chassis was reinforced before the top was cut by 2" rebar along each side tied together with cross members... In comparison to my first RX7, I don't notice any distinguishable difference in flex or body roll... then again, I'm really not a professional driver. It's a blast to cruise around in though. Top speed with the roof on has been about 115. That's enough for me right now until I get some new suspension.

I have a staggered 18.5 X 19-11 with molded Pettit Flares on the way.
