I have used the search function and couldn't find my answer.

Why do the front tires always have a thicker side wall than the rear tires?

Since are cars are staggered, why is it no one runs say 20's on the rear and 19's on the front? I ask this because I found a set of wheels that I really like, but that widest is 19 inch wheel is 9.5 inches wide, and I want to run a 10 or 11 inch wide rim on the rear. So I was thinking why not run a 20 inch wheel in the rear?

Thank you in advance for any help
