Doesn't matter.

Just realize the limits in physical space, primarily the struts. You can only go so wide and so tall. The sad part is you're basically stuck at stock as pretty close to the maximum. On my '02 Forester, stock size being 215/60/R16, I'm basically limited to that size. Any wider, I rub the rear strut, any taller, I rub the spring perch(think that's what you call it). Sure you have a few milimeters to work with, but you're basically set to max at the start.

How to fix this?

Lift kit, coilovers, lower offset wheels, each with their own benifits and downsides. You figure out how you want to go about doing things.


As far as adverse effects with a different diameter tire, everyone else basically covered that. Your car and all it's electronics don't care...as long as all 4 are the same size.
