I can't believe that no one has mentioned you will DAMAGE YOUR TRANSMISSION if all 4 of your wheels are not the same.

If you're having handling issues, there are ways to fix it, but putting different tires on the front/rear will accomplish nothing.

As far as staggered width tires on any AWD car, you must make sure that they have the same diameter on all four corners or else your diffs will be very unhappy and can fail.

+1 on that

I was implying this as well (as i'm sure others were, hence trying to talk him into same sized tires), read the thread before making assumptions.

I CAN"T BELIEVE you said that!?

do we all need to repeat the obvious 500 times?

and no all 4 wheels do not need to be the same! they need to have near identical roll out between all four wheels when mounted on the desired wheels.

a tires sectionwidth therefore aspect ratio can change very easily based on the wheels chosen. so even with using the same tire on 4 wheels you have have issues depending on wheel width.
