Just remember guys, computers may make some of these ideas difficult if not impossible to do....... If you have ABS or the traction control with Electronic Stability those computers need to see the same diameter tire on all 4 corners to make their "decisions" as to what the car is doing, the stability control may even have issues with different widths. (Standard T/C not so much as that is front wheels only......)
Depending on how they are optioned out, these cars are not like the old cars were. You could end up with a car that throws constant codes, puts itself in "limp mode" all the time or just becomes unsafe to drive........
Looking "cool" in a death trap is not desirable.
