    You should probably add a 4th question - "Will this cause damage?"

  1. How would the car move if it is driven? It will move in the direction decided by the position of the front wheels.

2. Does the differential neutralise the tire size difference? The differential will accommodate the rotational difference.

  1. If so would the car move at the same speed as intended? Yes, the speed will be controlled by the engine output ie throttle position.
