I have a question.. and my paint shop is being ghey right now....
But what do yall think about Lifting up the rear end a few inches, and to eliminate the wheel gap, putting slightly larger wheels on the back?
14s on the front something like maybe a 16/17 on the back?

no good @ all, If you wanna ditch wheel gap get lowering springs..... diff sized wheels look like ass no matter what.

Ok, so im guess that the general consensus that Diff wheel size is bad.. but that also putting the back end up a few inches would be ugly too?

basically! might I ask y u thought about it?
Typically, yes more power to you. It's your car, which means you can do what you want.

Well.. i feel that with the styling of the car, it all goes forward, its kinda linear...
and especially with the way the the back end of the roof is styled.. it was just an idea i was throwing around...

My problem isn't the different size wheels as much as the rear-end "lift". Our cars already look like rally cars.... I don't think a lift is necessary. If you want more of a rake, just lower the front slightly more than the rear.... like most lowering springs do anyway.

If you want your car to not understeer, don't put larger wheels in the back. Offsets aren't very good for front wheel drive cars. But I'm pretty big on handling, so yeah...

That would look HORRIBLE, especially on a FWD car.

I kinda see what he means. Any car looks better lowered more up front, then the back. If the back is lower, it looks "off" Just get springs dude, alot of them lower that way.

However, with the rear jacked up, the car is always going down hill. Save on gas at least.
Don't anyone take that too seriously

Actually...
could that make it more difficult to get the car UP hills?

You realize we are FWD? If you want the raked look, go buy a standard Neon or a Caravan.
