I'm going to run these in the rear



SSR Longchamps 17x8 +38 only $200 for a pair with new tires.. This set actually used to be on the Enjuku car..

and these 16 inch wheels up front



+ i'll have a extra two 16inch wheels for drifting.

Same style wheels and it's going from 17s in the rear to 16s front.. should look good.

17" rear and 16" front diameter stagger seems like a bad idea. You want the front to have good turn in, and with that setup, you will have more front sidewall, which will make the car feel inbalanced. Thats just me though.

Wheels look good, but the offsets suck.

I always run a stagger when drifting.. I would usually run a 17inch wheel front and 15s rear.. just because the 15s are so much cheaper!

I'm going to use the 16s all around when drifiting now and the 16/17s for daily. The offset is not THAT bad due to it being a 8 inch wheel, I'll most likely end up running a 20mm bolt on spacer in the rear to bring it out more though.
