Nah man it'd look sick, I already thought of this. But you wouldn't be able to rotate your tires. Something else that might be tight is putting wider rubber on the rear tires (with 19s all the way around of course ).

Nah, that would look stupid. It's like a wanna-be rear-wheel-drive. Why would you want wide tires in the back on a front-wheel drive car, other than looks. You're better off putting them on the front.

Good point on the tire rotation too.

That's what I'm talkin' bout!

Seriously, I don't think it would look good on a 4 door car. I've never seen anything like that on a 4 door car.

if u want performance, stick with 17". you dont go enough power to be running on 18" and 19", theres alot of power sacrifice there. plus, i hate 19" on regular road. i had a set of 19" on my IS300, hated it (after 5miles of driving), now its for sale=]
