It seems to me in almost all the staggered set-ups I've seen, the rear wheels appear smaller than the fronts of the same diameter. I assume this is primarily due to the different wheel/tire widths which give that appearance. (especially noticeable with the deep lip styles)

Just curious if anyone has gone with a larger diameter wheel just in the back to compensate? Also, if you do go say with a 18x8.5 and 19x9.5 setup, are there any other issues that may arise due to the varying diameters?

Thanks,

 

I just install new tires on the back. I went with 275/40/18 which is a size bigger than the one most people use whcih is 275/35/18. The total diameter is about 0.8" taller. I do not feel any difference and I've got more rubber in the back so I have better ride and faster launch
