Default 205-50-16 for 215-45-16

I have 2 x 215-45-16's would it hurt if i had them on my rear wheels and still kept the fronts as 205-45-16's?

On the tyre calculator it is 1.9% smaller rolling radius.

Car WRX STI Type-R 1999 with DCCD (Able to have Center Diff open)

Default tyres

Hi Mate,

I don't think anyone would answer this question due to the scoobs diffs, the rotation of the wheels would be out by 2 just for one mile and that may be enough to screw up ur diffs on a long journey. I know the differences are very similar to having worn tyres on the front and new on the back.

But if you have worn tyres on the front and then new on the back the difference would be another 2 rotations of the wheel out per mile.

I know this is not what ur looking for in an answer but it may help you decide.

Cheers

Erm thanks for your reply.

Will this cause me an issue/problem? would i get 'Wind up' in the diff, or would it be ok due to my DCCD?
