yeah, not really uncommon, just to this type forum. We are into cars and car shows, go all over the country with our cars. Pretty much all the cars are larger in rear than front. Foose customs (not the factory stuff with his name on them), trepanier, alan johnson, all of them

Your gonna want to be about 34mm in the front and 45mm in the rears.

I personally think the wheel combo will look cool.
