If anything you will be making the tire bulge as your putting a slightly to large tire on the rim as opposed to the stretched tire that is on the rear rim now. Also you can go 275 on the front as many people have and that will retain the same 30mm difference in width between the front and rear of the non-Nismo cars. If anything your actually reducing the difference between going 245f 275r to 275f 305r, from a 11% difference front to rear going to 10% difference. Whopping difference, I know
