| So i plan to go out to the track this weekend, problem is i've noticed with my basically stock R/T my tires tend to NOT break loose now that its sitting on 22's. My question is for this weekend i have my stock rims and tires well 3 one suffered a screw and is no longer useable nor do i wish to fix it (i'll be buying new winter tires soon) My question is would i be able to throw n burn up my basically useless stock 18" tires n rims on the back of the car while leaving the 22's up front....granted the car will look rediculous with 2 diff rims and a 4" size difference. BUT will i have any issues as far as damaging anything...that is the 1 thing i am trying to avoid at all costs!
Someone please help i wanna introduce my hemi to the track this weekend for its first time just for fun any help will be greatly appreciated | |

| It'll be fine, like you said, it'll look funny, but it wont "throw anything off". Hell... it MIGHT help with traction with the front sitting higher for weight transfer LoL | |

| Im not an expert and I'm sure they will chime in, but they might be close to the same size depending on the tire side wall height. I don't think you'd have any problems since its only 2wd. What day are you going to gld? | |
