    would a 19x8.5 wheel on a 245 in the front look wrong with a 245 19x9.5 in the rear?

    Trying to avoid a staggered tire setup while still having a wider wheel in the back (purely for cosmetic concavity reasons of course)

    Obviously I read that the 235 front/245 rear is common, but looking to avoid the whole rolling diameter issue (I know it's acceptable to be within in 3%). But square would be preferable. I assume the width of the wheel makes no difference. basically there will be stretch in the back but I can't really visualize how it will look.

    Thanks

    Don't stagger. This comes from having done this (I bought a staggered set of MRR GT1s off a dude in CA in 2011 or 2012). They ran ok with the same tires all the way around (kind of liked the stretched look in the rear), but you can't really rotate them.

    As for appearance... it won't necessarily look bad. I got a lot of compliments. But again, rotation was a bitch, plus Maryland roads meant I got bent wheels.
