Please don't take it the wrong way, but details and data (if possible) are needed to help form the right conclusions.

OK,
I don't like/use spacers! Looking good is nice but I'm more interested in performance & fun. I don't street race BUT I live in the country & a drive on curvy, empty, country roads is more important to me than big rear tires/small front tire look. That & 0 to 130+mph on streightways. Spacers & weight on front wheels is not for me. I also don't care for big wheels & thin, hard, noisy tires. Rubber & air serve a purpose. Also the sizes I use are for a 350z & 240sx. Having said ALL that
I have M/T 245/45/18 on stock wheels in the front & 255/45/18 in the rear. The 240 now has my Z set up, Conti. ExtreneContact DW 235/45/17 front & 275/40/17 rear, 5 Zigen wheels. Both tires & sizes/set up are much, much, better than stock in handling dry/wet & snow. Both cars now feel VERY balanced(weight distribution) & have a much better smoother drive. Less noise, NO THUMP sound. 370 they are not, so more details not needed.
