tyre width ratio,(front to back?)
hi,i have original,(i think?) steel rims on my squareback that have been widened,(6"front and 7" rear both with 205/65/15s),i want to lower it but
the front wheels/tyres will definatly rub,could i in theory put the 6" ones on the back still with the 205's and put some 4.5's on the front with
165's or is that to much difference between the two?,id like to keep the wide ones at the back as i think they would tuck up ok and look cool !!

i think it should work, just depends on how far you lower it, wheel offset and tire profile.. lower profile the better for no rubbing...
could be a squeeze to get 205's in if u have IRS..
