Default Different size wheels

So i am having a vision to get 8,5'' wide rims to the front and 9,5'' to the back of my classic. I already got abw arch extensions waiting + eibach pro street s coilovers. But im worried about the transmission, will this amount of diameter+circumference gap hurt?

Your rolling radius is perfect but I'm not sure if the extra width would cause any issues

Why don't you use a 9.5" all round if you have the arch extensions?

what about the offset then? is +38 too small for the 9,5'' wide?
Ill have to calculate and measure the front end a little more. I really am not sure about the inner clearance when turning or in full lock if you got the 9,5'' wide wheels

I'm sure people with the arch extensions on classics are running 9.5 et 20ish. but don't hold me to that

There's a lot of people saying "Yes it will break it" and loads saying "No it won't"....

But I read about one guy on here who did ruin his centre diff (I think?) by running staggered wheels. I know of another lad who ran staggered for a few weeks/months but nothing bad was reported.
