They are a good bit wider in the rear than in the front so I never thought to use them on my SVX because I've always heard staggered wheels on AWD car is a big no no... However a friend was telling me the other day as long as I use the same sized tires on each wheel it wouldn't really be a problem. I believe that would involve stretching a tire... What do you guys thing aboot that?
Didn't mean to change to subject but just thought I'd ask haha. I like the new wheels. They look great with the coilovers. Get some rubber on em!

If you make the front and rear tires the exact same circumference, you can use whichever size you want. I think it's supposed to be easy to get close, but hard to get dead-on. It ends up being a matter of fitting the actual tires and measuring.
That said, I wonder if you have more/less leeway with the 5-speed versus the stock auto.
