I' done it. Personally, I don't like it. It looks kinda weird and it goes slower because the smaller wheel has a smaller circumference. I like a fullsize wheelset better. If you want a lowered car, I recommend cutting the tabs off and put them lower. It looks like a real lowrider.

Annnnnd, if you put small wheels in the back, it would give it a tad more power. And, it would look real stupid in my eyes.

if you do this take out the sway bar on the front & it makes it look level

If you take out that swivel bar, it will affect your steering. I did this to my cars, and it screwed up the steering.

Yea, I figured it would go a bit slower, and it would prolly have a bit more power.

small wheels... now put some whitewalls on your tires, and slam the that body!! whitewalls would look awesome with black rims.

that's why you put springs on the knuckles.
