Larger wheels in the Rear?

What do you guys think of having wheels in the rear that are one or two inches larger than the ones in the front?

Is it possible on the Cobalt?

Why? Cobalt is a FWD car, so the Front wheels should be the bigger ones. If you drive a RWD Mustang or Transam, it makes sense for the rear wheels to be bigger, it does NOT make sense on a cobalt.

Unless you want pure cosmetic looks, but I would laugh at you if I saw that ****.

You definitely CAN do it. Though that doesn't mean you SHOULD do it. And if you made the front wheels bigger, that would look even crappier. FWD=equal diameter & width all around.

ricers around here are already running spare tires all the way around to lower their car, they should just buy a set of springs i mean really, but no bigger rear wheels on a FWD would be stupid
