Default Can you race at the track with mix match wheels???

Going to the track on sat, wondering if it is safe to run my car with my TTMs on a 315/35/17 DR in the back and some 15x3.5 draglites with front runners? The reason i want to run it like this is because I dont have tires for my rear draglites. Is this ok or would I have driveability issues?

the only time u usually have any drivability issues are when you put a bias ply tire behind a radial, it doesn't seem to want to follow the same grove as the fronts. but its possible to still drive them. in your case wont matter bc you have dr's.

The fashion police will come and arrest you. Other than that you will be fine.

If your tires are not the same height you will get the ABS INOP light. Otherwise you should be fine.

250 cool ride points lost just make sure you get them back by pulling the tires off the ground
