wheel set up
ive read about a few cars where the wheel sizes are different.the front wheels are smaller than the back.theres only a slight difference but you can see it and it looks good.it gives it a pretty nice stance.has anybody else seen this and what do you think.

yes, it's exhibited on several stock cars, including the z01 vette, it's not practical for FWD applications though, RWD yes. but with the drive wheels in the front you're basically just pulling the back wheels wherever you want, big tires in the back would be a hinderance I think.

FYI, you might want to go wider on the rear if you have a good LSD like the Quaife. It's a popular euro style.
On FWD cars with LSD there is more force put on the outside rear wheel, and the wider tires make fpr better grip.
You could also go with a tire/wheel combo with a smaller rolling radius than stock to get off the line quicker.
