[Chan Chee Hoe]

Hi everybody,do anyone know the rear tires[275/35-19] is actually smaller than the front tires[245/40-19] by 5 mm in diameter.?Nissan should have use 285/35 or 275/40 for the rear tyres,usually sports car should have bigger rear tyres...in my view.

I was wondering the same thing, btw. Its actually fairly noticeable from the side, too...

I know my rears will be getting more meat, especially after my little curb rash run in, yesterday. Irritating...

It will fit the rim. Higher profile tires are easier to fit than low profile actually. Just check that the overall tire diameter is within a reasonable range of the front diameter (<1% is ideal).
