Hi everybody,
I have a 96 gsx with lsd. I have just switched out my stock rims and tires for a set of enkie rf1 rims with dunlop direzza dz101 tires on them. My dilema is as follows, I have 205 55 16 on the rear and 225 50 16 on the front. I have calculated that there is only a .2 milimeter difference in overall outside tire diameter. Cut a milimeter into 5 peices and take one of those peices and that is the total diameter difference between the two different sizes. That is very small. But my question is whether or not it is okay to have a different width on the rear and front tires. I have the 225's in the front and the 205's in the rear. Thanks a lot for all of your guy's future responses.:thumb:
 
i don't see that being a problem. The only bad thing is different size wheels in diameter, not so much how wide they are. And i also don't see a huge ploblem as long as the rims in the back are the same and the ones in the front are the same.
