sleepyhead Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Hello! I was doing some fantasy shopping of alloys when I started thinking what and how the handling would be affected with different sized front and rear wheels. What would happen if you have 205/50R15 at the front and 225/40R16 at the back? Similar overall height but the sidewall of the front is greater than the rear. Or more qualitively how would the handling differ from having say 225/40R16 all round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have a 'Wilmslow' moment Sorry I'm sure someone with some knowledge will be able to answer this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
