hey, question...

[lemon]

if 3 tires have a 245 wheel, and one is a 235, is that bad?

245/45r17 <- 3
235/45r17 <- 1

 

[TheOriginalJames]

yes.

 

[UncleBacon]

I would imagine so

No its not serious. You will get uneven tread wear on your tires.
Just put it on the back right side and do a burn down :gears

Just make sure the tires you get are Z rated. I believe thats the highest speed rating for a passeger tire. goodyears have nice looking tread design, I run goodyears on my 89.

It could be serious if hes driving a GT. It will cause the 2 axles to turn at different speeds, thus constantly slipping the clutches in the posi-trac rearend and ruining the posi. The best advice I could give is to get matching tires quick. If your is a situation where youre going to have to run this "offsize" tire for a long time, I would put it on the front. It will cause uneven wear but will do no mechanical damage to the car. Just be carefull driving it like that because it will wanna pull like a sumunabish.

if its on the front, its not necessarly 'bad', but i surely wouldn't want to run two different sizes on the rear

if you have the stock gt wheels on there they are 17x8. sumitomo makes a good 245/40/17 for that size tire. they are 77 bucks a piece at www.tirerack.com and shipping is like 50 bucks. you could have all 4 tires shipped then mounted and balanced at a tire place for under 400 easy.
