Towing?

I'm towing an AWD I bought the other day tomorrow. Would it hurt anything to load it onto a car trailer with difference sized tires on the front vs. rear? Maybe 20 feet at the most.

As long as all four of the tires are on the trailer, you should be ok.

So it won't be bad for the trans or whatever to pull it onto the trailer? Its a flat bed car trailer.

No. The t-belt snapped. It doesn't run. I bought it for $500 and the engine is going to my friend. I'm swapping everything from my '93 into it. I'll probably post pics tomorrow.

Turns out some ass hats swapped the rims on the car because a friend needed new wheels. Well they put 14s on the front of the car. But the trailer had a 10k pound winch on it and easily drug it up the ramp. I threw on a set of 16 inch wheels before we unloaded it.

Very nice looking . I would suggest to keep It on 16" . That's the size that fits/perform best on. And keep updating us on the project.
