Hi

Is this what you're aiming for?

I think as long as the wheels/tyres on the same axle match, it might be ok. I'm guessing it's not going to be a permanent thing?Volunteer driver with 4x4 Response South East Wales

Just wanted to put some tyres on it that don't have cracks, without changing all 4 wheels.
Don't really want to fit new tyres as it will probably just get parked up again

For an MOT, it can have different size wheels front to rear, as long as they are the same size across each axle
Whether the drive train will cope is another question My D3 Build Thread
As long as rolling circumference is the same, you should be fine..

Cracked or perished tyres would need to be very very bad to fail an MOT. Badly perished tyres normally end up getting an advisory during a test but it can again depend very much on the individual tester. Might be worth asking at the test garage what they think before spending money or messing about changing wheels around and potentially causing transmission damage with mismatched tyres.
