Question Rake It!!!

Anyone running 20's out back and 19's up front on their SC?
Can it be done without drivetrain problems?

do a search...staggered setups are fine, but 20's will rub a bit on sc's whether theyre up front or in back i believe.

The best way to do this is get some 19 x 8.5 F and 19 x 10 rear
High disk fron, low rear, and some Tein's coilovers .
That way, all you have to do is lower the front lower than the rear.
I wouldn't do that unless it was on a Prowler

Why do people want to do this? Is there some "advantage" you think you're getting? Is it to save $5 on the front tires? Do you think you're going have a better chance at not getting a bent wheel? Hehehe...I don't get it...

Or is it because you're buying two used 19's and two used 20's off eBay or something?

some people actually like the way some cars look when the front is lower than the back, i know i do in some circumstances (nsx's, 2003 mbz sl's). i dont think this really matters tho with our cars since you can just get the supra eibach/tokico setup installed for less money than it costs to get 2 20's and 2 19's + tires.

Well that look is EASILY achieved by using COILOVERS. You can rake all day long (then you can come over and rake my front lawn... )
