the issue would be weight transfer. if the left side rim weighed 50lbs & the right was 035lbs (w/ tyre), yes you would feel it. but only when turning at high speeds, ie 50+ mph on a slow curve. or when your drifting. this is why REAL racers put the same wheel on the same axle, predictable in either direction.

I did this only cuz i used to have all 16s, then i cracked one driving through a pothole in chicago. So i didnt want to buy juss one 16, so i bought a couple of 17s for the rear.
Damn...now i dont know what to do...i'll see how it looks, i have so many rims in my basement..

i'd leave the set u have now. becuase tryn to sell those is gonna be real hard. thats why many people with rear wheel drive cars find it hard to sell their rims since the size and offset of the front and rear sets are normally different (rear normally larger)
