YES IT WOULD!!! especially with two different sizes... try for two different widths than one 17 and one 18. Look for 17x7 and 17x9 instead

I was planning to get the XXR 962's in 17x9 at first but I don't think my Tein SS are low enough for the front so I have to get the staggered 17x7 and 17x9 setup. I think it would look pretty alright. Maybe some spacers for the fronts in the future.

1.75" lip in the front
3" lip in the back

It'll be something different from the usual setups I see.


**edit.. i agree with nyknick, don't get a different sized rim setup.. go with a different width staggered setup.

Staggered sets are $$ when you throw tires in. But if you're doing 17's it won't be as bad.

never do different size rims for cars like ours. personally i'd try to get rims that were all the same width but a lower offset for the rear. wider rear wheels on front wheel drive doesn't make much sense to me but i guess there's more wheel choices if you do different widths

do staggered widths not wheel size.

"17x7 & 17x8" or "17x7 & 17x9"

the reason people get staggered wheels, is because they looks good. regardless of which wheels actually move the car, they just plainly look better.

Anyone know the older 5 spoke gold wheels that keychain use to have on his car? I absolutely love that style wheel.
