surely not good??

[GTIR1000]

Surely this wheel set up is not good for the drive trian this is the first r i have seen with different width wheels on the rear. I like the look of the car over all but would the difference in wheel width cause a problem?

depends on the overall rolling radius of the tyres

Probaly the same size tyres....but seeing that radials dont like to be streched it would have interesting handling to say the least.

With any luck "Joe Joe" has thought about that... I just don't understand why you want a "Euro look" Japanese car; it's clearly not European. - I guess it's like that Japanese "VIP" look; I don't understand that either.

Could the rears just be a different offset to make them stick out a bit more?

Only 274 bhp @ 1.2bar?

It looks more like the side-walls are stretched to fit the deep-dish rims; it does say "euro", and stretching tyres onto rims like that is the euro look isn't it?

surely if the "euro" look is taken to the extreme your insurance could be voided....

the tyre manufacturers will have suitable rim widths for each tyre, go outside those limits and it's a good excuse for your insurance to tell you to go suck yer salty balls

besides that, it looks wank.

Only need to be a few mm out on diameters to cause extra stress/wear on transmission or worse.
Once again a top example of how to spend a fare amount of cash to ruin a car.
