I haven't noticed any problems or anything with my current setup. Except for the wearing out of tread on my front tires faster.

But when you have 15" (50's) rear rims and 14" (60's) front rims does that do anything adverse to the front end of the vehicle or anyting?

Was thinking of going to a set up like CarlC has or just going to rally 14 x 8's in the back and 14 x 7's in the front. If I am hurting my car now.

shouldn't make any difference at all. most any vehicle will wear the front tires a bit faster than the rears because of all the corners you turn. most camaros wear the back tires faster due mainly to powerbrake sidestepclutchburnoutdisease.

Maybe your car needs an alignment.

I think it is more of a young man's disease, but I still get a fever now and again thats caused by it! pdq67

Negative Orench. It drives straight. No wobbles or vibes. I think because the car is lowered and more of the weight with going to the front of the car due to that and smaller rim sizes in front just wore out the front tires (Uniformly...no ball or tie problems). I put 5k miles on them on hot days and curvy roads.

My car, when it had 14" rims and 235/60 BFG T/A's, with a "proper" alignment, always wore the outside edge of the front tire. The inside would have lots of tread. The stock suspension geometry causes positive camber gain under bump which will accelerate wear, especially on radial tires.

Even with the Guldstrand mod and his slalom alignment specs. if you have very good street tires and good traction only the outside 1/2 of the tire is being used.
