Has anyone tried going for bigger tires in the rear and making the rear wheels an inch smaller to match the front?

I am aware it's difficult to find many options for aftermarket wheels on the xfire. I haven't really be able to find anything I like yet. I was thinking if I go for thicker sidewalls on the rear tires to fit 18" rims but keep the same overall outer tire size as the orginal 19" wheels, then that may open up some possibilities.

Is this the ramblings of a mad man or could this actually work?

 

Search is your friend, this has been discussed several times.

 

Iv'e read your post three times.

What are you trying to accomplish? You want to change the wheels to something smaller and tires to something (something...?) in order to keep overall size the same or WHAT?
Im sure what you are thinking makes sense, but the way you explained it, I read it "Can I change things to change things but keep everything the same?"

 

If it has been discussed, it was spelled out differently, cause I usually know what is being discussed, but not this time.

 

Not very aptly stated but I believe he is talking about taller sidewalls for softer ride.

 

if u wanted to use the front rims on the rear and to equal the look u could us the front rim on the rear with a 255/40-18

255/35-19 = 10.0 wide 3.5 sidewall 26"tall ,,,,,,255/40-18 is 10.0 wide 4.0 sidewall 26"tall
