so for a awd car, i know its bad to run different size tires and all four must match.
What about if you run same size tires but the rims in the rear will be 17x9 with 44+ offset and front will be 17x8 with 32+ offset tires will be 225/45/17 all around. the backs are a little more stretched but when I measured the diameter of the whole wheel, its only different by a 4 millimeters. Getting conflicting reports on this, don't want to mess up my diff. can it be done? |

Run the same width rim, and same tyre front and rear and you will have no issue regardless of offset. Having the rears with significantly more offset in the rear could exacerbate understeer, but that wouldnt only be the case with excessive difference (ie 25mm or more).
