it is not a big enough difference in height to matter. i have used 3 inch taller tires in the back to 3 inch shorter tires in the back. you wont have any lights or any problems.

Were you runnin 4 tires of the same size?
You do realize I'll be runnin 2 of one size, & 2 of another, right?

Some that are running a slick for track or big ole drag radial must've come up to this too.

TireRack told me it's good to stay @ 3% difference front-back. I'm right at that limit.
Said I should be ok, but if I had a awd or 4wd, he'd try to talk me out of staggered sizes.

Ive never seen a problem with staggered tires... Ive got staggered sizes on my S 10 and soon will have them on the Silvy and I dont look to have an issue with ABS....

205/75-15 and 255/60-15's on the S-10

255/55-18 and 295/45-18's on the SIlvy

Ben, any straight on shots of rear tires? To better see the size.

What are those? IIRC the name(s) correctly, they look like, Boyd Smoothsters or Junkyard Dogs?

I'll take 2 of those shiny things.
Then, I really would need tires as wide as you.
