As in 3% rolling diameter difference?
Its QUITE important to follow.
I have 10" wide wheels on the back and 8 or 8.5 in the front of my car though. 255 35's in back 225 40's up front. They are within 0.25% or so

yes, i understand taht all 4 wheels need to be within 3% of each other, but ive also heard that they need to be within 3% of stock diameter....or did i just make that up? haha

I mean it should be hard to differ that much while still looking good. My 18's are within UNDER .20% of the stock wheel and tire setup.

I see, that makes sense, I was just curious if I could fill some of the ginormous wheel gap that the c4s have that springs don't account for

The best option is lower :)

i see i see, but you don't think a super lowered avant looks weird? if i had a sedan, id lower it as far as i could without any rubbing, but with an avant (especially an older avant), i feel like id messing up its....aura haha. id have to see some pics of some slammed avants before i slam mine [race]
