I have no idea what you just said, but the wider tires should be on the back...and what do you mean smaller

no wider tires shouldn't even be on the back. wider tires on the back makes no sense whatsoever. it doesn't handle as good as all four corners the same size and you cant rotate correctly

go out to your car and write down the number..such as 245/45/17 or whatever is on the tires and post what each tire is and where it is located.

I dunno, i just feel cool when i tell people my back are wider haha. That and i looove how the back tires stick out the side bottom of the car when ya look at it from the back, it looks so sick.
