Undersize tires in Front. Problems?
Hey guys,
Just got an 89' straight 6 that RUNS for $100.00! It has two very bad
tires but I have two 15" 205 that came off a honda or something...
I was thinking of moving the two regular tires to the back and putting
the pass. car tires on the front, but wondering if there isn't any problems
that can arise that I'm not thinking of? I don't relish the idea of driving
around with my back jacked up, but I am BUSTED and can't afford tires
right now. Btw, I could put the other two pass. car tires on and go as a
lowrider (I have a set of 4) but not sure how that would look ;-)

it will be a bit harder on your front wheel bearings, as they will be spinning much faster than normal at lower speeds. other than that and whats been mentioned already you will be fine (oh and your front ground clearance will suck) i did that once when i was broke, my 76 chev had to pass inspection, had 2 tires from a vw laying around, so i put the 215/50/15 on the front, passed inspection, and rolled on those till i sold the truck, and later wished i had kept it.

Thanks again guys! I think I'll drive it as is for the 4-6 weeks it takes
for the new title to arrive in the mail and either sell it or keep it and get
new tires (cheapest are $58.00 ea at Discount Tire).
