Quick wheel question

[marc.l]

My mate in Saudi Arabia has just offered me first dibs on his rims , he changes them more than I change my oil ! They are brand new , never fitted carlsson ultralight 1/16 only thing is they are a strange set up . Fronts are 20x9.5 and rears being 19x10.5 , his plan was to use 30 profile tyres all round rather than 30 profile front and 25 profile rear .

My question is will it look odd ? He said it will look no odder than having different aspect ratio tyres and I sort of see his point . I can see advantages , wider choice of tyres, more grip maybe ? Lighter ?

I dunno man... I reckon it would definitely look weird.

Wouldn't look so bad if the front wheels were smaller than the rears, but having the rears smaller than the fronts!?

My thoughts exactly , but in some ways it makes sense . I run bigger brakes on the front and more clearance is always a good thing . Tbh I'm not sure if you would even be able to notice visually as the tyre wall would be the same size as would the rotor to rim Clarence .

Only one way to find out , he's going to ship them next week and will fit them and see how they look . If they look pants I will put them on eBay separately and move them on .

And when I say cheap I have got them for £400 the set , still in the original boxs

Yeah, you my as well give them a go if he's shipping them over to you.
Post up some side-shots when you do test-fit them.

I have a feeling it may be easy to spot though.
