I’m thinking of putting a set of staggered wheels and tires on my C1. I would like to run 15x6’s on the front and 17x7’s on the rear. I’m wondering if anyone has done this set up and could suggest some tire sizes and perhaps post some pictures. I would like to see what they would look like before I proceed.

 

Well not a c1 but staggered wheels 18s and 20s

 

If you run a 15 and a 17 and you want the tire sidewall to be at least equal the rear tire will be 2" taller. If you're OK with that then fine. If you're not that means the front tire will have a taller sidewall than the rear tire. IMCO which is worth nothing it creates an odd look. When running a staggered fit usually the better look is front and rear tires have the same sidewall height or the rear tire has a taller sidewall than the front. That visually exaggerates the nose lower than the rear look or what we use to call "the California rake".

 

Thanks for the input. After a little research I’m now considering 17’s and 18’s so I can have the same sidewall width on the fronts and rears without that drastic raked look you’re talking about. I want the car to look aggressive but not odd.

 

Why on earth would you want to do that? What are you trying to accomplish?
