Rim question plz help

domain007 · 01-13-2017, 09:39 PM

I've tried searching but didn't come up with anything so here goes.
Was driving and understeered into a curb, my rim is gone

but I have two spare rims that were lying around. If I use the same tires all around, can I have two different rims in the front & two different rims in the back(same tire in all 4 corners)? Will this affect the center diff?

Are the rims the same size?

The wheel diameter and width need to be the same.

Should be fine. Your offsets and weights will be off but it will be an ok temporary fix. Really just looks will be off.
