Offset / size question

Wandering if 18x8 in front and 18x9 in rear with offset of 45 will fit and not look odd on a '99 Max SE. Tires are Kumho Ecsta Supra 712: 225/40/18 (Front) and 255/35/18 (Rear).

- What would be the point of having a 18x9 in the rear if the car is front wheel drive??
- Do these measurements make sense since the rims sizes are opposite of the tire sizes - front and rear.

The rims are Mille Miglia EV-S.

Thanks

Wider wheels/tires in the rear = more understeer than ever from your FWD car. Staggered on FWD is purely for looks.

Would these rim sizes affect me when I'm rotating the tires??
BTW, I'm on KYB AGX's.

Thanks

Your 255 rears won't fit the front. And it'll look ghey with wide rubber in front than back.
