Rear 18 Inch Wheels All Around
Can you do this and put a different size tire on the front to keep from tripping up the Tration Control? If so, what size tires? Anyone have any pics from the side to show what it looks like?

I think the back spacing is different on the rear wheels. I don't have my manual handy but I believe thet the rear wheels won't clear the front rotors.

Harold: 18s all around won't mess with Traction Control as that only effects your spinning your rear wheels. You might mean Active Handling and again, no it shouldn't effect that as it is controlled by various handling input sensors - but not wheel size.

wider tires make for better handling

I moved stock rear Y2K's to the front and bought a set of 18x10.5's for the rear. I'm using 295/35 and 275/35's...I'll send you a side shot pic.

Does any vendor make a Polished/clearcoated wheel like the stock in a 18x9.5 and 18x10.5? The chrome is too bright for my taste. I prefer the stock look.
