Never mind how it looks, how would a car with one wheel 4 inches smaller and likely a whole lot thinner than the others handle?
I wouldn't want to be a passenger in that! The whole thing must be canted towards the "small" corner!
(is it even legal? why not just whack a temporary set of any old 4-way matching wheels on? it'd sure look a hell of a lot better)

Wheel size doesn't matter - it's the combination of tyre size and profile plus rim size that creates the rolling radius as long as the radius is the same no worriesTahrey1043 wrote:Never mind how it looks, how would a car with one wheel 4 inches smaller and likely a whole lot thinner than the others handle?

Now I'm not sure about the legality of it but most space saver spares are exactly the same and have 50mph limits - not sure about the legality of exceeding that either
It would however fail the MOT so constructions and use regs may well see the boys in blue taking a keener interest
Put two steels on the same axle and it's legal reagrdless of any differnces between front and rear - Smart car anyone?
