I am starting to get to the time where I will need to start replacing my tires. I'd like to switch to 16" tires but don't want to do it all at once.

Is there any issue running 16.5" rims on the back and 16" on the front? How about 16" on the middle and 16.5" on the back? Essentially I'd like to space out the tire and wheel purchases over the next couple of years so all my tires aren't aging out at the same time the next time I need to replace tires. I know I'd be taking a chance that I wouldn't have matching rims and I probably would be spending more to space out the purchases than if I buy them all at once but my bank account can only take so much.

Appreciate the thoughts.
