Is running bigger wheels in the back going to damage my car?
I am currently running 18s in the front and 20s on the rear. Pretty stupid IK but I did it since I wanted to be cheap and not spend more money on new tires so I threw on spare wheels I had. my car is throwing an ABS and brake light, am I destroying my car?

Ah got it, I have 18x10 +25 and 285/30R18 on the front and 20x9 +15 and 245/35R20 on the front. As for the trim I have the base model, its on coilovers too btw if that makes any difference

If those numbers are accurate front to rear, your front wheel diameter is 0.76 too short and the rear is fine BUT...
That's gotta create some pretty odd handling in an oversteery kinda way. That's also gotta look odd with mondo meat up front with stock width tires in back. Hmmm....
Destroying the car? No, so long as there's no rub and since it's a Base model, there's no traction system (TCS/VDC) to get fussy about. But with that type of handling, yeah, you could pull a Dugan possibly destroying the car that way.

you're absolutely right lol, it definitively doesn't handle as well as it used to with 285s all around
Ima try to get some money and buy some tires so I can have 285s all around again, Im just in college so I cant spend money like I used to
