    mismatched rims

    hey guys, have 14" rims on and one 16" because my lug nut key snapped, any problems driving with this? its the left rear that has the 16".

    thanks.

    I think it looks sporty and hardcore racer. Maybe highway driving cos the weights aren't balanced. possibly the car veering.

    sorry are you drunk or high? wanted to know if there are probs with it, but yea it looks like a drag car atm, rear is like 1" or so higher than the front..

    btw anyone know how to get the broken lug nut key out of the nut?

    Your suspension is gonna be out of whack all around due to differences in height, which means weight distribution gets affected, alignment changes etc...

    And broken lug out of the nut... if you can get a vise grip onto it you can try that way? Or if you really need it, trying welding something onto the lug and go from there?

    You'll be fine driving it.

    Don't keep it on there for a while cause it actually ilegal.

    the problem isn't just the differing size...because the tyre profile will most likely be different, as well as the tyre width...the handling will just go out the window
