Why on earth would you go a wider wheel on the rear of a FWD?

Rupewrecht Why on earth would you go a wider wheel on the rear of a FWD?

cause I can ;P lol jk have seen many people in the states run staggard fitments and looks mad and I love dish man I love dish so that's why.

anyway the reason im looking at bagging the laser is 1 to stop ruining my car and 2 cause im planning a massive system install with 2 18s 8000rms and cause a box that will take up 98% of the boot will weight quite a lot and cause I wanna ride low don't want rubbing scrapping while im driving so air will help achieve all my goals and will look sick slammed on the floor

Can you even go over speedbumps? I like the more moderate slammed look, but damn if some of it doesn't look impractical, even for everyday driving. Although maybe the ones I see real low to the ground have all been bagged too...

forgot to post up prices for the air set up for everyone lol
ksport basic 3000
upgraded compressor and tank 400
accuir air management 500
so 4gz don't think I will go with this set up lol will be going with the following
kw v2 coilovers 1900
stock strut mounts 200
aac lateral link kit 600
$2700 but will achieve how I want my car to ride and handle.
the aac kit to bring the rear end in slighty so I can reduce camber in the rear and eliminate all rubbing in the rear.
the kw's wont go heaps low like the bc's but they will go about the same as super lows which is fine for what i want the car to do. and the ride will be 100xs better then the bc's should have bought them instead of the bc's loved the way the kw's felt in my brothers bmw m5 wasn't to bumpy wasn't to stiff which I loved about them but couldn't afford them at the time I bought the bc's so time to rectify the mistake
stay tuned
