Default rim and tire set up AWD - question
Would I do any damage to the AWD system if I ran

18 x 8.0-in wheels with 225/40YR18 - Front
18 x 8.5-in wheels with 255/40YR18 - Rear

Stock suspension

Thanks in advance

the overall diameter of the tire has to be same in front and back. from your tire specs i can see it won't be so...yes, you will screw up the drivetrain if you run that set up.
