Default Mismatched Tires!!

Okay so! I own a 2006 Dodge Charger SXT 3.5L right? Well my tire size is 225/60/18 which is the stock tire size for my car. I was given 3 new tires of the sizes 235/45/18 well… I TOLD my dad I did not want the tires put on my car because they were not the right size. He did not listen of course. So now I have two of the 235/45/18 on my front end and two 225/60/18 on my rear end. I need to know the damage this is going to cause my vehicle and how fast I need to get two new tires! Please and thank you!

If it's all wheel drive, you do NOT want to drive it like that. It WILL cause expensive parts to go BOOM!

If its Rear wheel drive only, not so much of an issue. The 235's are significantly shorter though...... so, it may drive kinda funny.

No damage of rear drive, but if the height difference is significant enough it might cause the trans to go in to limp mode due to the wheels speed mismatch. Two inches is a pretty significant difference. What retar- oh nevermind......
As stated, if you have an all wheel drive you'll break your transfer case quickly. Then you can see how he cheaps out on that. Go here: https://tiresize.com/comparison/ and plug in the tire numbers to compare.
