I have 12's on the rear of my car with a +26 offset and mine poke more than those. There should be some sort of marking on the inside of the wheel that tells you what size and offsets they are. Until you get the proper info, we can't help you.

I appreciate the response. This was not a fitment question as much as a could running vastly different wheels and tires front and rear produce the issues I'm encountering. Maybe he didn't know what he bought. Like I said I saw them on a car and didn't give it a second thought. Live and learn. I just want my car normal

Then run a spacer to clear the caliper or buy different wheels.

The question was would the difference in front to rear tires and wheels make the car act like it is?

I drove my car with the factory wheels and tire on and no TPMS installed and all I got was the light on my dash indicating a flat tire.

If your tires OD (outside diameters) are extremely off, then I can see the car not know what is going on and it drives like **** with no power. Install the tpms sensors and install proper sized tires and see what happens.
