    Default Wheel Size Help!

    Hey guys,
    I have an mx73 cressy, and found some wheels im really digging. However the wheels come in pairs of 15x7.5 and 15x9, i was wondering if these wheel sizes would be too much in width difference and have some cons to it. I will eventually lower it with BC Coils if that helps.
    Also should i run the x9 in the front or the x7.5 in the front

    Thanks

    I've heard (but not seen) wider front than rear on some awd vehicles. Some believe it will modify slip angles or make the rear breakaway more gently to reducing sudden oversteer. I've not seen it for RWD. I would think this is a conversation to be had with a steering/suspension expert. You plan to mess with the fundamentals of not engaging closely with fixed objects in a way that is a bit of an unknown.

    You need to check the wheel offset too. Not all wheels of those widths will fit/clear struts etc. Check some members rides for details but plenty of 9" wheels on old cressies.

    Also, you must practice your google-fu.
