Comming home on the highway the other day my buddy said there was alot of blue-ish purply smoke coming out from the back of my car. Now, later learned that day by misstake, my rear tire were not the same size. Somebody f*cked up (probably me grabbed the wrong tire). So my car was running a 215 and a 235 (dono how I didn't notice this) at about 140~160 kmph. Would that have mabey cooked the diff? It's just after I put the proper tire on the problem of smoke went away.

It will strain the rear a bit, but I doubt it'd smoke... it'll just break and you'll stop moving.
Purple smoke.... Prolly a blueish is oil. Leaks and burning oil is common on these old carsBuilder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

no. You'd really have to be doing something to get visible smoke to pour out of a rear. Different size tire would make the clutches work excessively in a traction lock, but about the most that would do is wear them out till they didn't grab anymore. Mine used to get nice and hot from bad bearings, but all it ever did was perk a little oil out the vent. It never emitted smoke.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
