Re: Bigger wheels but only in the rear = good idea ?

I had a 93 and I dont recall the gap being more extreme or noticable.
Its a given that the back end in general was high. But I dont recall the gap in the wheel wells being of any concern.
It may be possible you have a problem with your leveling/suspension.

If you put different size tires on the back the revolutions are different. (RPM)
The ABS and Traction Control for all tires work together on one system. Its set up knowing that all tires are the same size. And making the same revolutions as per the parameters of its programming. If you put different size tires on the back, then the revolutions per minute will be different for those tires.
The system will constantly be thinking that something is slipping, skidding, or spinning, out of the range of the parameters that are normal.
So it will be constantly kicking in to compensate.
