Kits can look great, if done correctly..

Those CS kits posted above look good.




Thats not bad either imo..

It's having different rolling diameters that eats diffs

Wouldn't having a wider rim on the rear with the same sized tyre all around reduce the rolling diametre on the rears as it will stretch out further?

Yes...

This is the reason you shouldn't run different sizes...

But, despite that... Why would you anyway?

Hi
i am looking to get a set of 18 x 8.5 +38's under the wagon.
Has anyone done this or know if it will fit without being a mission.
I would like to go wider but just after others experiences.

Thanks Nathan

You'll get them under easily Nath. You could go 18x9 +35 if you wanted
