Radials 17x8 and 17x9. The car lookes great! 2 problems though: 1) In theory, since the rears are bigger, the car should understeer more. I couldn't tell, since I didn't take the car to the limit with the old setup. It may be corrected by suspension changes and tire pressures. 2) that thing weighs a ton! With tires, they're like 50-55lbs each! Heavy heavy!

I am wondering if it is good or bad to upgrade to 17x8 for the front and 17x9 for the rear. Will i run in to any problems with these different sizes? The wheels in question are stock Radial Style 32, an awesome looking wheel. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance-
