Why do you want to use such different profile only? What is your car? Usually those with different/staggered tire sizes are RWD or AWD cars (but with more power to the rear wheels) so they use wider rear tires to help maintain more stable handling and control the power/traction to the road. For FWD, it's not recommended to use such staggered setup coz it will make the handling even more understeer. Your setup is odd and makes not much purpose as the tire widths are still about the same only the front is thinner by 1 cm or total diameter is actually smaller by 2 cm at the front. If you can use 205/45 in the front as well then better to do so.

I'm actually using a staggered setup with front 225/50/17 on 7.5jj and rear 245/45/17 on 8.5jj. Note that the total diameter between front & rear are almost the same with only about 4 mm difference, not as much as yours. Does it affect anything? Yes, my car is a RWD and it makes my high speed handling/cornering more stable, more predictable, and easier to control over the limit, especially since my car has no TRC/VSC.

If you really value proper performance input then you would not be a 'stancer' in the first place and should replace that 9jj rims with no more than 7.5jj rims as recommended for your tire size.

Well then why you asked for input from performance point of view? You're now contradicting yourself already. Forget about performance, honestly in my opinion, your setup or what you call 'stance culture' is not even road worthy in the first place, not to mention being a daily drive! I agree with what McFD2R stated below and my opinion will even go further than him! You ask for respect for 'stancers' but in fact 'stancers' themselves do not respect others as they endanger others by stretching tires to such extreme and running on such extreme camber. Then they also slow down so much even during minor road imperfections, making other people have to wait damn extra long for them to pass. Do you think you guys own the road or something so you can take your own sweet time on them?? Heck you don't even respect your cars by subjecting them like tamiya toys, ruining their fenders, tires, rims, suspensions, undercarriage etc2. So how do you expect others to respect such egoistic nuisance?? And all that for what, just to look 'good', or so people will say you're 'cool' or something? Sorry, you won't get any from me or any other with a sensible mind, and I don't even think such setup looks any remotely cool/nice/good in the first place, those cars look like broken cars already coz they're indeed already on messed up suspension! If you want respect, start by respecting others first and forget about 'stance' or whatever that is.

Well IMHO they should not be road legal in the first place, especially on highways!

Yes, I already know what is the TS intention hence my post just earlier.

Unfortunately not just in Malaysia but this disease has spread in many other countries too without any control from the law enforcers!

Pay attention to what I've said, your 'stance culture' endanger other people only for your 'gaya muthu keunggulan' nonsense, that's why I'm serious, got it!?

Well I've answered his question in the first page already.

Well that makes it even more dangerous and I don't pay attention to useless nuisance.

Yup, my setup is based on my own mod in conjunction with some bars upgrades as well which I'm quite content already as an overall package.
