Default Different type tire question...

Or I think it is...
If I run 245s up front and 305s in the back, would it give me problems?
It's still going to be 17" in front and 18" in back...
I don't have AH... just TC...

You would need to run the 305's in 30 aspect to remain close to your desired stagger of diameter.

How about the full spec on the tires? 245/?/17 and 305/?/18

Furthermore, what exactly are you concerned about with the sizes?

I want the fronts to remain stock at 245 45 17. I want to change the back from 275 40 18 to 305 30 18. Basically, the only thing im doing different is adding a 10.5 wheel in the back.
I dont think will cause any issues at all. But, most of you might be able to enlighten me if there would be a problem with it...
