SILLY QUESTION but need an answer !!!
this is a silly question but does it really matter if you're rockin mismatched sized rims? tires? more specifically, three 15" steelies and i have a 14" steelie left but is it safe to drive for awhile? i drove with two 15" in the front and two 14" in the back and it wasnt that bad? but three 15" im a bit sketchy about. tell me your thoughts. thanks.
Re: SILLY QUESTION but need an answer !!!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that mean your car front is at different heights, where the 15 side is higher than the 14? Additionally, the amount of distance you cover per wheel rotation is different depending on the wheel size. The circumferences (distance traveled) of each wheel will be different every time the tire rotates.

Re: SILLY QUESTION but need an answer !!!
as long as the two front tires are teh same size rim and tire size...
and as long as the two rear tires are teh same in tire size and rim size,
then ur fine for now...
but running on 3 15" and 1 14" is unsafe and it willl cause ur car to be imbalanced...
and when your turn too fast, you could lose control n crash...
and as long as the two rear tires are teh same in tire size and rim size,

yea, keep same size on each axle, i see this all the time down here, and its so unsafe, and stupid, plus itll **** ur good tires, cuz it changes the weight balance towards the smaller one

Re: SILLY QUESTION but need an answer !!!
the difference in rim size is logical but does the tire size really matter that much? 185/65 to probably a 195/60? because currently as of now, im rolling on three steelies and a gsr blade. two front steelies are 185/65. third rear steelie is 195/60 and the gsr blade is a 195/55. let me know. thanks.
