Maybe they meant the front would be wider than the rear. More front traction. Less rear traction to get the car to rotate better in the corner.

The size that I saw at a Mall parking lot was 18's, it looked good cause it filled the rear fender well, and the rims look like deep dish with atleast 1.5 inch lip...just curious how's the ride and how expensive? with two different sets of rims, didn't really look at the brand, didn't want to look shady!!!
