Will running 225/55/16rear 205/50/16front hurt?
i recently bought my00 and i noticed it. Will this hurt the car (speedometer)? I'm looking to find my04 and up set of rims and tires as of this moment. Will change them out once i pick them up.

Your speedometer reading is based on the turn of the drive wheels. Your rear tires are 3.2% bigger in diameter than stock.
Therefore, with those tires on the back, your speedo will be 3.2% off (reads low).
Your front tires are similarly smaller than stock but has no affect on the speedometer, however since it is over 7% smaller than your rear tires. This could play havoc with the ABS.
