Question to throw out....

Concerns FWD. I've mostly/usually always had RWD vehicles. Considering that, it is sometimes common to see or opt later on to install slightly wider tires in the rear, while keeping the orig. size in the front. For grip, performance, looks.......

With FWD, I've seen people that have the hopped up tuner boxes like jettas, civics, lancers, etc. whatever, and have seen them put the wider tires on the front, with the narrower tires in the rear.

Does it hurt anything with a FWD car, to keep orig. size 225s in the front and go witha 235 or 245 in the rear?

Question

Hurt anything? No.

But people that know you put wider tires in the rear on a FWD car are going to laugh at you.

Best is to go the same width all the way around, or wider up front.
