have to have the same size and width on an axis, so both rears have to be the same and both fronts have to be the same but front and rear can be different,
but if the mot man deams the car unsafe cos of the size difference he can fail it.

i dont disagree that cars can and have failed for different sized wheels but mine pass its MOT after i put on the spare (had 14" 3 spoke sports and put a 13" spare on) when one of my alloys wasnt a pass, looked odd having 165/65s on and a 135/60 13" but it did pass.....

My girlfriends car, when we bought it, passed the MOT with 1 tyre on the wrong way round. . .

If you have a complete set of wheels id just change them all, its not hard and saves hassle.

I know it makes no difference when it comes to MOT, but a Mercedez, BMW, Jag etc are designed to be like that, Corsa's aren't.
