Default Rpf1 different spec

noob question:

ok so i have a set of Rpf1 17x7 +45, long story short one of them is not good anymore but i came across on just one rim for a good price but the specs are slightly different. the one rim is 17x7.5 +48 my question can i run it with the current set up i have in the mean time without expecting any major change on how the car handles?

any info in appreciated
TIA

So you have 17x7 +45 all around currently? This questions seems similar to asking if running. One tire that's a different size than the rest is ok. I would say no. The wider wheel will have an effect on whichever corner it is on and possibly unbalance the car and effect handling. If you are running the 17x7's all around you should be looking for 2 that are 8.5 or wider to run in the rear. If you only have the 17x7's in front I would just look for a new set of those or a matching set to the rear.

Forget replacing the bad 7" wheel, and just buy a pair of the 9 +45 for the rear. Id move to the 8 +45 up front now or eventually also.
