odd question about wheels: 17s front/18s rear
anyone ever ran 17s up front and 18s rear on their clks? like the corvettes?
i like the 18s for traction out back but like the 17s up front for better steering control...

Been thinking of this route too as i can get 19" rears wheels wider (for a stretched look), but not in 18.

i'd like to stick with 17s but the contact patch really isn't enough out back...18s allow me to get 265/275, which is still small...wish we could fit 285-305 like the m3/350z..
figure with 17s front, i won't loose the comfort level for a daily driver and steering will be more planted...

As long as he keeps his overall diameter, should be a non issue right? He could be running 13" rims and 19" in back for how silly that might look. But is possible as long as hes right on with overall diameter?
