Front Wheels look bigger than back
first and most of all, I must apologize if my post is not done correctly, firt time ever posting anything anywhere.
to the point, I just had 20" 8.5 front (245/35/20) and 20" 10 back (275/30/20) Savini BM4. for some odd reason, I'm not sure if its just me but it seems that the back wheels/tire look smaller than the front. anyone has experienced this before and is there a quick not costly fix? thank you all for your quick response.

You are referring to profile height. And yes, there is more sidewall on the front tire. Normal

thank you all for your response, I know the pictures are not that clear but it seems that all the replies point to spacers, is just that as soon as someone sees the car the first thing that comes out is “hey, front wheels bigger than the back?” thank you guys, much appreciated. i hope the spacers fix this look or i'm in deep pocket trouble

Spacers won't fix what you are seeing. The front tires will still look bigger. And yes I see exactly what you see. Only fix is larger rear tires or smaller fronts. |

You are correct, spacers will not change the diameter. Only tires will. Should have done your math before buying them.
285/35/20 will give you 708 mm. 275/35/20 will give you 700 mm. 285/30/20 will give you 680 mm. |

Never trust anyone, very few people give a crap.
Always double check everything yourself. They should be able to exchange your tires after one day. The assumption we are making here is that the tire you bought is available in the size you want. |
