different tire widths?

[iamtheyi]

I have a 225/45/17 and a 205/45/17. If I were to mount these tires on either side of my rear wheels, what would happen? negligible performance loss? Unsafe??

[lazysk8er2]

is it for a rwd car?
fwd?
awd?

if you just have to do it to a 2 wheel powered car just to do burnouts or for temporary emergency purposes then go ahead.
tires will wear out unevenly and your traction will be messed up.

do not do it on a 4wd car.

It's for my s14. rears.

yeah thanks. I guess ill have to swap it out asap ><

you'll sit lop-sided, and your car will pull to the side with the 205 cruising and pull one way then the other during accel/decel.
it's not really unsafe... think of it like you're running a donut, just bigger.

nice. thanks. Well I'm gonna drift the car so i guess ill just try and burn through it asap so i can mount another one on there.

PO of my 240 had a 235 on one side and the rest of the tires were 185 so it would pull to the right and when I would step on the brakes it would pull to the right. I really don't understand why he did this

Do you have a 1.5 way, 2 way or VLSD on your car? if so you can ruin it quicker by causing uneven loads & wear on either side of the clutches depending on your diff.

I still have my open diff in. But i'm welding it soon.

Then you're fine besides the minor pull you might get then man.
