has anyone seen a mini with 13x7 superlites on the back and 13x5.5 (or 12's or 10's) on the front? just wonderin if it'd look crap. cause i could put sum on the back of mine with 10's on the front and i couldnt have to do any cuttin :D haha

i assume it would look either like sum sexy drag car :roll: or just stupid like u couldnt afford the whole set (me)

The different width 13's might look passable and go towards evening up the front and rear track widths but I think that can affect handling , 10's or 12's on the front and 13's on the back will look like you're a poser , slightly wider on the back will keep people guessing though , is it rear wheel drive ? Are the backs wider ? That mini looks different but don't know why etc etc etc ......

Thats why i wanna tub a mini - 13x5.5s on the front, 13x7s on the back, but using std. flares all 'round. I think that would look sweet, it would only need about an inch or so...

Its not uncommon to find Japanese minis with 12's up front and 13's on the back.....


Makes tyre rotation a bit difficult though - and what size spare would you carry?
