Mismatched Wheel Widths
The specs on my OEM rims are 18x8.5 and the specs on my new rims are 18x9.5. So far only two of the rims have arrived, and I want to install them on the front instead of waiting for the other two, but I’m going to be running a small stretch. The tires I have on my 8.5 OEM rims are 245/40s and the tires for the new 9.5 rims are also 245/40s. I’m not sure how big of a difference it would make, or if it would be enough to harm the internals of the car since there would be a slight change in the complete diameter of the front wheels compared the to rear wheels.

Now imagine the pain of having to drop $thousands on a new transmission...I mean to each their own but I see mismatched wheels and think, “Tell me you’re too broke to own this car without telling me you’re too broke to own this car.”
