Im sure ive heard that as long as the same size wheels are on each axel then its ok, so you could have 16's on the front and 13's on the rear. Dont quote me on that though as it may not be true lol

i thought as long as the ywere the same on the axel then its ok.....copper seemed to thing you had to have the same wheels on all round, what about these big fatty cars with 19 on the rear and 18 on the front....? dont know if thats standard tho

yeah as long as the rolling radius is the same for both sets of wheels you'll be fine

think about it... some cars have 18's up front & 19's at the rear as standard...

easiest way - takt it to a test station or ring the VOSA and ask them, but I am sure aslong as the rolling radius is the same & the wheels/tyres dont stick out from the bodywork, they should be fine
