    Maybe a dumb quesstion, different rims on the same axle?

    I know that different tyres on the same axle is not recommended. How about the same tyres on different rims on the same axle?

    Thanks

    If the rims are the same size and offset it won't matter.

    Shouldn't matter. The rim masses will differ, and the widths are likely to differ, even different offsets are ok (as long as they don't rub), but the rolling circumference will be the same, and that's what matters.

    +1 for that ^^^, rolling circumference/diameter MUST be the same or the TC might not let you drive it much
