I forgot about all that... good point. Don't do it.GMTURBO43 said:Well.....
Yes - you could do it. I'd make sure the front and rear tires have the same rolling diameter if you have AWD otherwise you'll be letting us know how much a transfer case is.
I think it would look nice until people realized it was a FWD carThere certainly won't be a benefit with the exception of appearance.

Sorry, I just, well, l could not stop myself.
No, why would it be? I'm assuming only the wheel sizes differ, but the tire size would remain the same.Ski Zero said:Wouldn't the rolling diameter already be bigger if the wheels are different widths?
True. I based my conclusion on the idea that the wheels would be 1" width apart, which would mean not that many choices for tires. In either case, keeping the diameter the same should make it ok to use different width wheels, although with all that rolling mass your acceleration and braking will suffer.GMTURBO43 said:You can get different tire sizes to have the same rolling diameter.
For example - a 245/50/16 will be the same as a 245/45/17 which is the same as a 315/35/17.

If you want to play around with different sizes.
I based my assumption that he'd also be getting a wider tireEric L. said:

Yeah silly me for assuming. :2:GMTURBO43 said:

BTW - you can find larger wheels that weigh less than stockers.
