I was curious if anyone had thoughts on how this may look? The reason I ask is I currently have a 17x8/17x9 stagger. I love the way they look together specifically the big lip in the rear and aggressive offset. I already prepped my rear fenders to clear 255s, but the fronts are a bit more invasive than I really want to go, besides I would still need a new pair of 17x9 RPF1 to run the 255s. So I have been running a 225/255 stagger but would like to try a 255 square. Like I said I love the rear setup and want to keep it, but would hate that look on the front. so I was tossing around the idea of a PF01 front. They look different but not so much at first glance and as with the combo I have now that subtle difference looks neat.

Any thoughts?

 

I guess one downside would be that it would look odd rotated I think, so the advantage to rotate tires would be lost.

 

That is a negative. They look very different. If it was a set of track wheels I would say who cares- function>form. But for street wheels...just no. That is on par with the people that constantly hit up junk yards to replace damaged body panels and end up with 3-4 different colored panels.

 

Go PF01 17x9 in the higher offset on all four corners if going square. Unless it's a temporary thing while you're saving for some Volks or something new or on the used market and just want to test it out to see what the setup is like (strictly speaking of form--as in the square setup vs. the stagger). Another cost effective option is the 949 racing wheels which come in higher offsets. Agree with the others though, it's acceptable I think for the track, but you are certainly not doing it because it looks cooler than four of the same.

 

I guess my thought was 17x8/17x9 rpf1s look different and it actually looks good so what if I took it a step further... but yeah I think you guys are right in that it would look way too different

 

Mismatched wheels on the street always looks odd. Track like DC2 said is different.
