Staggered wheel size for big and little tires Per Boyd Coddington's concept of having the side walls of the tires have the the same percentage of sidewall to wheel size front and back. His theory being that if you have the same diameter wheels with big tires on the back and little tires on the front like a lot of roadsters have the fronts look funny compared to the rears.

Not a whole lot of difference If I had run 15x7 on the front though.
