You'd have to check the rolling radius but why would you want different size wheels

how do i can check radius? well i have 4 old 18 on the ranger wich 2 tyres are worn, and i got 3 of 19 alloys with great tyres wery cheap, and i need to pass nct soon so i decide just exchange 2 alloys for test and after test back again on 18, just looking to buy another 1 19 wheel to make it full set, after 18 will gone sit in a garage so no point buying tyres for them now, may any chance i can do it ?
 
its pretty basic and clear cut , with a land rover permenant 4wd system all wheels have to be near enough the same size....the diffs will take care of small differences due to tyre wear....using different size wheels front and back will put more load on the centre diff than it was designed to handle.... how long it lasts will depend on the actual amount of difference in tyre overall size and driving style. you wont get anyone telling you to go ahead cos nobody else has been brave enough to try it out.
 
I'll try and make this as clear as possible:

NO, don't do it.

as per ricc, plus, it could radically alter the handling characteristics of the vehicle as there will be more sidewall flex on the tyres on the 18" rims than those on the 19" rims, can't say how serious, but could be similar to mixing crossply and radials...
 
i would say nooooooo.
if u had flat and had to get to garage then chance a small distance with diff size but otherwise ,i wouldnt.
and welcome to forum.:welcome2:
