tire size question

a friend of mine his selling 17 rims they two have 225/45/ZR17 (back) and the other two have 205/45/ZR17 (front) is this a common thing to do? or is it a bad idea to keep the tires as such and get different tires? BTW this is for a 93 accord (rims and tires formerly on a teg)

Well what is the stock size of the Accord tires?

Depending on what size OEM was your speedo and odometer would be off. Plus I don't understand why people with FWD cars put larger tires out back?

wont make a big difference but you are a racing type i would switch what should be the back to the front cause no offense but that was a stupid thing to do i am guessing your friend is use to having a muscle car or something
