Default will this cause a problem on the 03 track

I need to send the rear wheels to get them repaired.

this is on a 03 track with the track wheels.

i have another pair of front wheels. So all in all i'll be running 18x8 all around with 225/45in the fronts and 235/45 in the rears.


Will this cause anything long term damage? i was told 3-4 days. i drive 30 miles daily to work.

any lights and or damages.

it should be fine, the only diff between the rear and fronts are the widths right?

i dont care for the looks, its only on for 2 weeks.

all i care for is any damage, any lights and etc being on the car.

Will the car be way off balance or something?


Yes the only diffrence is width, 225/45/18 tires and 235/45/18 all on a 18x8 rim all around.

you will be fine..

your TPMS light will probably stay on for 2 weeks since the original two sensors wont be in there.........or if the new wheels you have are oem wheels with two different sensors........

so hence, the light will turn on..but just ignore it..

Even if a light did come on you would know it's because of the rear wheels. So just ignore the light until you get your track wheels back.

considering the 03 to 05 non track ran 18x8 front and rear you will be fine. the rear tires will be slightly short , but its no big deal

like i said i dont care about the looks.

the TPMS wouldn't even be on because for it to turn on i need to drive like 40 miles in a row or something. the most i normally do on is 15 miles on way

my TPMS hasn't been reset for a while, nor has the light come on because all i do is short trips.


Thanks a lot guys for this. wheels are going to be removed next weekend and shipped to get this bend removed.

i'm honestly a little sad that a forged rim would bend but then again i guess ANYTHING can bend with enough force. I dont ever recall hitting a HUGE or serious pothole. The tire has no bulge or damage what so ever but the front lip is bent on one rim, the other rim just has rash from prevous owner, that i've been meaning to take care of.
