I think it'd look odd. The rear wheel well is larger than the front so your tires in the rear would be sitting pretty far in there. If you got a spacer to push it out flush with the wheel well it wouldnt look too bad, but then you still have bike tires in the rear haha, plus you wont get any traction!!

It's a personal decision, but the car looks better with staggered wheels.

U can run staggered tires, but still check the offsets as you may have problems clearing the brakes.

Personally, I run 255's on my stock rims, but would like to run wider in the rear still. I think u can still run 245's on the 8" rims, but 225's on the front will have a harsher ride as they'll be more stretched out.

Unless you're totally positive they will work well on the car, I wouldn't do it.

carefull

Make sure you test fit. Lots of rims don't clear the front calipers. You can put wheel spacers on the front if you want.
