Default how would this look?

I am looking to put 17's on my 04 civic. I am trying to do this in a way that isnt too expensive. I have found a good deal on 17x7 rims. When looking for tires, I found 2 pairs, both continental I believe. Anyway, one set is 205/40/17 and the other pair is 205/45/17. Thus the sidewalls would be slightly bigger on the back tires then on the front tires. How do you think this would look? Is something like this common?

thanks

if anything it would make it look a little more like a rwd car. but thats it. I don't know how noticeable it will actually be. I haven't tried it. why would you be doing this anyways?

Um, be patient and save up for the correct tire size all around... It'd probably look like crap and no it's not common, for good reason lol.

17s would look good on a 7th gen vs a 6th gen for sure. But don't mismatch the tire sizes like that.

if you want to see a car with rims try copying this url oktire.com/wheels and it will take you to a wheel selector hundreds of wheels and you can check out what it will look ike on your car.
