Eh. I drive around with a wing, stickers, and racing numbers, so I am certainly in no position to judge tastes.
I am curious how it will come out!

Hmmm... 18s up front and 20s in rear....try photoshop first.
How about switch them for this kinda look:
Woenderful thread. It is going to take me while to find the answers from the 300 pages. In the meanwhile, if somebody already has thought of this setup, let me know if it is doable or not.
Is it doable? Yes
Is it recommended? No
With AWD cars….for the best handling performance…..squared is what you want. Staggered can exacerbate the front end to push, but nothing that would be an issue with normal or spirited driving on public streets. Adding in 18” and 20” staggered will negatively effect the handling even more. Now you‘re adding in sidewall flex on top of less contact patch. If for some reason you want to do that, I would suggest at least a 19” and 20” setup. I believe there are some OEM’s that come with different sized front to rear wheel diameter setups. But they are usually only 1“ differences.

Yeah BMW and Porsche both us smaller front wheels but only 1" difference as for example M3/M4 come with 19's on the front and 20's on the rear. However the chassis it tweaked and the tire sizes optimize as just randomly doing this on any car won't make it handle better and going down two sizes is very unnecessary.
Hi just wondering what size tires front and rear, and are the rims 9.5 up from as well?
What size tires front and rear as well as the front wheels are 9,.5 as well?Finally put together after nearly a year of chasing my own tail... couple of quick photos.

Weather got nice for brief moment. The preliminary fitment shown here is not what we're typically known for 
Reminds me of the euro/dub stance days... this will be addressed very shortly. Stay tuned!

Not sure I posted these! Mods in signature. (Sorry they aren’t super high quality. Someone sent them to me later).
19x9.5+22 with 275/35R19. Requires 3+front and 2.5r camber to not rub after I installed the aftermarket rotors.
