Exclamation Front Tire Size

Will it be okay if I have a 7.00x17 and a 7.50x17 tire on the front of my truck? Will it affect anything? I only have 2 highway tires and 3 7.50x17 mud tires. I could maybe try inflating one of the flattened tires that was on the front if I had to. Any help would be appreciated.

Going for that circle track look?

I wouldn't think this is a good idea... steering is bad enough already.

Dueller,

Yep, the NASCAR boys call that "stagger". Ifen you wanna go all left turns, ya puts the 7:00 on the left side. After a few months your right arm should be about twice the size of your left...

One of the original tires that was flat matches the one that I put on. I don't know how good it is though. It holds air but since it was reinflated I don't know if the ring will blow off while driving. The ring was not loose when in flated though. The other has a hole in the side. I have 2 7.00x17 highway tires and 1 7.50x17 highway and 3 7.50x17 mud tires. I also have 2 other 7.00x17 mud tires but one is really worn.
