Will having two different size tires on the rear have a fast and bad affect on my clutch packs?

It will when you have torque applied to the rear end via the driveshaft.

Oh hell yes....it will significantly reduce the life of your clutch packs if it's driven for a long distance. Basically it will act as if the rear end is always turning a corner.....therefore always slipping the clutches.

Ya you will kill them quickly

Just for background info. Why would you have 2 different size tires on the back of your car?

everyone likes to make fun of the silly people, but when your desperate things need to get done. i have to of the same tires for the rear, but i needed a rim and the only thing i could come across was a 14, and they don't fit the front. so moved on tire up and 14 in the rear. nobody could help me where i live and nobody sells steel 15 inch rims for my car.
