sigh.... ok, let me break it down. simple physics. your car is designed to hold your wheel a certain way. by moving out your wheels, you're putting more force on your hubs. Why? because there's less weight distribution, and the center of balance is moved out more than it's supposed to be. Not simple enough? hold your arm straight out in front of you. Start pushing down around you shoulder, and try to push your arm down. It's not that easy. now start moving your hand further from your shoulder, and start pushing down. Gets much easier. Now imagine your shoulder is the hub, and your arm is the bolts. Further out you go on the bolts, more pressure applied, which = more chance of failure. It may be fine, it may not. IMO a wheel flying off on the highway is certainly not worth the risk when the look you're aiming for can easily be accomplished with wider wheels.
as far as the "wider" in the back, the reason it's done on rwd cars (or fwd ricers) is for more traction. Wider tire on the drive wheels is better traction. On a fwd car, done properly, your FRONT wheels would be wider. Wider or more spaced out rear wheels on a fwd car is pretty much the definition of rice. but it's your car, so go for whatever you like.

I couldn't for the life of me sit here and explain something over and over again to someone who just refuses to listen.
To the OP,
what these gentlemen are saying adds up perfectly.
What are you looking for?
Take there advice and don't do it, or be stubborn, continue to think you're right and everyones wrong, take a risk, and bossibly break something.
Your call.

ahha stop ******* posting...i dont care...when that person comes in which one already did...idiot..then we will take it from there and hahaha you have a carbon fiber hood on ur ugly ass SS haha thats pretty ricey u stupid ****
Why make a thread for advice if you're not willing to listen to it? I don't know what to tell you but go do it and when your wheel falls of cuz you hit a bump or pothole come back and make another thread asking why it happened like all the other idiots that don't listen to usefull feedback. Go tell your mom and dad you want them to buy you a new car, try a VW. HAHA you painted your tail lights white like your rims and sticker on the windshield of your POS slow SS HAHAHA.... YOU PUTZ
