I think it looks sporty and hardcore racer. Maybe highway driving cos the weights aren't balanced. possibly the car veering.
sorry are you drunk or high? wanted to know if there are probs with it, but yea it looks like a drag car atm, rear is like 1" or so higher than the front..
btw anyone know how to get the broken lug nut key out of the nut?

Your suspension is gonna be out of whack all around due to differences in height, which means weight distribution gets affected, alignment changes etc...
And broken lug out of the nut... if you can get a vise grip onto it you can try that way? Or if you really need it, trying welding something onto the lug and go from there?
that's no good.. hopefully i can get the POS out tonight.. i gotta drive though..
it should be ok if u dont travel along way.
if i have to put on my spare itll be diff sizes. ppl drive on there spares all the time, im sure it be ok for a lil while mate.
drive slower and safer than usual

You'll be fine driving it.
Don't keep it on there for a while cause it actually ilegal.
thanks guys, got the stupid nut off today and all back to stock size.
the problem isn't just the differing size...because the tyre profile will most likely be different, as well as the tyre width...the handling will just go out the window
