I have seen a few cars especially the VAGs driving around with OEM wheel son the front and After market wheels (bigger in size) on the rear

Is this a new scene at the moment as IMO it looks shit as fuck

Maybe just down to the increase in potholes? People driving about with spares so they need to change the other side to be the same size of wheel/ tyre as well

i reckon its people who buy expensive alloys then refuse to pay for a tyre because they can't get another loan after buying the wheels

Temporary fix tbh, had a puncture and had 2 spare wheels, which were a different size, so swapped both.

In the Jap drifting scene?
Perhaps they just want to light up some cheap tyres on the back?
