maybe if you read everyones post and not just mine you would have learned something. RWD cars have an advantage of running different offset wheels and having multiple options on rims. from no dish to 4" dish's. Shoot some widebodys have 5-6" dish's. You can do this with FWD cars but its more difficult and to match the right offset wheel to your car takes time and money b/c those rims are usually a little more expensive.

The wheels are all the same size, but the tires are different widths.
The reason for having different size wheels from front to back is all about handling (when you do it for function and not for looks anyway...). The 95 BMW M3 had wheels that were 7.5" wide on all 4 corners. In 96 they changed the rear wheels to 8" and kept the 7.5" on the front. The reason behind this was to reduce oversteer (when you turn in and your ass end slides out).
