Hmm. Actually, what I THINK he meant to say was that to counter
understeer, the European tuners would mount wide front wheels and
tires up front than out back. So then you could have let's say a
17x9 up front and a 17x7 or 17x8 in the back with appropriate tires
that would be the same diameter. Then you could adjust the offset
to appropriately fill out the wheel wells.
