Can you put larger tires on back
Okay, so I have a 1995 del sol s model,
I needed a new back tire so I was able to get 2 good tires off a 1993 del sol si. I didn't realize they were a little bigger until I got home I guess they are 14 inch aluminum rims, so my question is would it be okay to have bigger tires on the back and smaller on the front. I think its 175/70/13 on front, and 185/60/14 I want to put on the back. Hopefully some one here knows about this I have no idea if it's okay or not.

If you don't know you probably don't have it and it makes absolutely no difference regarding the height of your tires. Refer to the chart in post #3.

It means the overall diameter of the 14in wheel and tire is 2mm bigger than the 13in wheel and tire. Will it look stupid? Yes. Will it affect anything? No.
It means the rear wheels will rotate slower than the fronts. By how much? I really don't know.

I would assume that if the difference is 0.448% it probably rotates 0.448% slower.
