ok,...so....what you are saying is that you did not have a reason. It just popped into your head and you posted it. Can't fault you there. I have a problem with saying what I am thinking with out running it through filters first. Or at least I have been told. But if you do that on here a lot, you will need some thick skin.

Anyway, I just felt like asking and I know a lot of people on here that are new to cars in general that ask some pretty rediculous (rediculous to the educated) questions, but really if this is a site to help people with their RX-8 you should pass your knowledge on without a bunch of demeaning comments, who the hell wants to deal with or hear that crap. I'm a smartass too, but some people hold themselves too high and underestimate others too much.
But whatever, think I'm a "NOOB" that's fine. Even Carol Shelby has ideas that sound stupid at first, but that's when make your idea work, if you want too bad enough. So I don't care, but some people or NOOBS as some would call them might have ideas of their own and who's F'n place is it for someone to make fun of them.

I fit in everywhere!

I went back and looked at my original comment for this thread, maybe I should have said that if I could see it and it looked good and I could get everything to perform right than i would do this.

You know what... I don't knock you at all. Everyone has their reasons for doing whatever. Whether if it's performance.. looks.. whatever. Just do what you want. It's your car, and you're right, you don't have to explain yourself to anyone.

If he would enjoy the look of having bigger wheels on the back, why would people stop him? Last I checked he spent the money on his car, and will pay for the staggered wheels. As far as performance goes, if the car already understeers with equally sized front and rear tires, it'll only get worse by leaps and bounds if you have larger rear tires. If your going for the show scene, I don't see why you wouldn't, maybe someone can photoshop it for you?
