rim/tyre size question

[flyen]

if i put a 14inch wheel on one side on the rear of my car and a 15inch wheel on the other side will this be bad

Will i be able to drive around with a 14 on one side and a 15 on the other?

thanks:driving:

It will get you home but I wouldn't travel too far as it will blow your diff if its the rear. I think its illegal too but if you have to put it on the front making sure the 2 rears are the same.

As long as the overall diameter is the same which it would be then there is no major problem.

It is illegal though and its definitely not reccomended. But as a I have to get home emergency situation its ok.

Going up in Rim size

If I'm on a standard 15" rim with standard tyres and want to go up to a 16" rim also with standard tyres......do you need anything else modified? e.g. willl the speedo be impacted by the change?
Thanks.

The actual tyres on a 16 inch rim are smaller than on a 15 inch rim.

So the actual rolling diameter should be the same, therefore no modification is needed mate.

From a legal standpoint you need to have the same rim size on each axle (so 20's on the front and 14's on rear is ok), so you can technically get a defect for it, but i'm pretty sure that the coppers wouldn't notice it, unless you really piss them off.

Yeah, legally you'll be in a bit of bollocks, but mechanically you should be okay. I drove around for months with a 17" and a 14" on the front of my old mazda 626 lol
