    What do you guys think of these Lotus rims. Im just after opinions on these rims. Probably suited better for front wheel drives.
    They are 2 pairs of 16s (175/55R16) about 70-80% tread
    2 Pairs of 17s (225/45R17) one has good rubber, other worn out (bad camber I guess)






    pic of it on my gtir

    What are these worth? Im thinking of selling it to someone with a front wheel drive as I think these will look hot.

    is actually alright to put different size rims for the front and rears?
    wont it damage the diff somehow. *sigh*
    i would put them as I think they 100 times better looking than the gold zenettis.

    Nah man you'll be right, as long as left to right are the same size.
    17's on front, 16's on rear, or vice versa will be fine! ANd they look hot

    The 16s have a smaller rolling diametre and I thought for awd.
    the tyres profile all gotta be the same?
    like they gotta be 195 all round, front and rears?

    Will these work on a Front wheel drive? put the 16s at the front, 17s on the rear?

    I work at SUbaru Service and we sometimes mix tyre sizes. All Subaru's are AWD. As lopng as the front two are the same and the rear two are the same.
