Default need opinions

so i have these wheels with the staggered appearance, yet they take the same tire all around (215) i was wondering if it would look good to go 215s in the front and 225s in the rear. what do u guys think? or should i go 225s all the way around.

If the width of the rims are the same, but the offsets are different giving you the staggered look, then your tires would be the same size to match the width of the rim (regrdless of their offset)...

No sense in getting wider tires in the rear. Wider tires in the rear will just add more rolling resistance, therefore slowing your car down slightly.

same width all around or else you won't be able to rotate your tires and have to keep replacing your front tires constantly.
