I added 1 inch lift to the rear and got the look of rear wheel drive. a lot cheaper easier to do . )

Maybe it's just me, but I don't associate 20" & 22" with "old skool"

But what ever floats yer boat..

Weld and smooth the rear doors shut too. Big and littles always look good on a sedan delivery.

Opinion:

Seeing a larger wheel in the back wouldn't make me think "RWD hotrod" but seeing a larger tire on the same size wheel would.

Reality:

Problem being, if you have ABS two different tire diameters could confuse the system and cause unknown problems. Also If you do have ABS, and that's the reason to use two different wheel sizes while keeping the tire diameter the same the back wheelwell wouldn't be "filled" any more than the front.......
