Why would you have 2 different size wheels on it in the first place?

Wow. That has to get the idiot of the month award.

As for why you have different size wheels, it is to give it a different stance. Meaner, more like a street rod type of stance.

That's the exact same as asking "Why do you put other rims on the car" or "why do you paint your car". It's for style. Originality. Difference. All that fun stuff.

dealers seem to be dipshts but be nice they wouldnt know style if it was rammed up their butt. and dont thrash people asking about the tire difference. this is the first time ive seen a box do it but tCs do it all the time to give it that aggressive slant. idk if it fits the box but to each his own! and btw nice rims.

I say leave it. It's certainly a distinctive look! And only marginally more absurd than applying supercar-style mods to a 108-hp econobox!

"aggressive stance" and "xB"...g'luck with that combo

and i think a staggered fit is cool, but i think 16's up front and 17's out back would be better

Why does everyone always hate on dealers. Maybe they were were just doing thier job which is to rotate the tires at 45,000 miles. Not their fault that you decide to run two different size rims on your car. If that is what you like then good for you. Did you ask them not to rotate your tires when you dropped it off. Did you give them a chance to fix it and swap them back around for you? And yes there have been plenty of different cars over the years from many different brands that have different size rims front and back, mainly higher end vehicles.

To be different, totally unique and to show everyone that I have my own sense of style, I will be wearing a boot on my left foot today and a sneaker on my right. I bet when everyone looks at me wearing one boot and a sneaker, they're going to think im so unique and taht i have a style that is unmatched!

I am sure no one will think im a dipsh!t because of doing something so irrational like this. i am original, creative and all those fun things that everyone else is. I stand out of the crowd and im in a crowd that stands out.

< / sarcasm >

How ridiculous.
