Can i drive 1 different wheel in the set?

dsrsrs · 04-18-2014, 02:14 AM

Hi, i need a new wheel (Alufelgen Sf71 19x9.5 ET35) but AluFelgen is no longer in business and i cant find one used, in good condition. Can i buy something else, like VMR VB3 or Alufelgen CS7, if i can find one. I'm still new with this, so i don't know if it's ok to split a set. I guess it is, if the specs are the same... For the weight, i guess it must be the same or it can vary ?

People drive around on spares. So I don't see why not. Maybe over time it'll mess up the trail arms or steering rack. But I wouldn't see why not? Keep matching sizes on each side and try to get close with weight

You can but the finish wont be the same and the weights will be different. So its up to you if those things matter.
