225/50/16, front 205/55/16

I ran this exact same setup on my 91 AWD for a little over 2 years over 20k miles (sold the car two months ago).

I was a little bit worried at first. The reason I did this was because I let another DSM owner (didn't know him all to well though) borrow my stock wheels, because he bent one of his. Well, about a year later when I sold my 17" wheels, I needed them back.

Anyways, he sold his car with my freakin wheels on it!!! He did at least give me the 3 good wheels he did have. Well, he had been running 225/50/16, front 205/55/16 or the other way around because 2 of the tires were 225/50/16, and one 205/55/16. Well, I bought a wheel from the junk yard and bought a new 205/55/16.

Everything was just fine for the time I ran that setup. I even rotated the tires (225/50/16 front, 205/55/16 rear). I would be more concearned with running the spare tire if I were to ever have a flat with the AWD....
