Default 18 inch in front, 20 inch in back????

theres this "set" of rims with tires on ebay that are selling and I am watching.....the guy had 18s on the front and 20s on the back......I've heard of using 18/19 or 19/20 combos but what effect will a 2 inch difference have on the car....do you think it will look good and how may it affect ride or handling???

It'll work, but if you ask me, it'll look bad (as in NOT good). Depending on the tire sizes, the car may also be raked forward like the old muscle cars. IMO of course.

the front shouldn't be lower if you buy the correct size tires. but i think it would look really silly to have a lot of tire in the front and thin tires in the back.

IMO... unless you've got some hotrod that has larger wheel wells in the back than in the front then there's no reason to get different size wheels.
