different wheel sizes
is their any actual purpose to do a larger wheel in the back. ive always wondered why companies do it. Vipers.....porsches..... some have 18s in the front and 19s in the back while other ballers can do 19F 20R. what is the purpose

how would you get more traction with a taller wheel
that doesnt make sense. you confusing staggered with wheel size i understand staggered since you get fit wider wheels which in turn mean more rubber. but unless im mistaken a 345,30,19 and 345,35,18 would ideally produce the same traction. just the wheel would look different is it purely aesthetics |

i am nor for sure,i but as i recall i red somewhere that diffrent size of wheels for example 205,60,16 and 205,55,17 arent equal wide..
Yes i know,it sounds rediculus,but when you put set of 16 and 17 one by other its clear that 17 inch is higher and by that wider,and has better grip! |
