my SIL had a porsche 911 with different size tires and rims front and rear. when he bought it he negotiated new tires in the deal. one day he noticed that they had one 8.5 wide rim on the left rear and the other on the left front. there was a 7.5 on each of the right side wheels. the smaller tires were on the front and the bigger on the rear.

he reported that the handling was interesting.

oh yeah, the dealer he bought the porsche from was the local (lafayette) mercedes dealer!

actually this would be pretty easy to do if you didnt realize the wheels were different widths.
