If they aren't staggered I would run the same tire sizes. If you run a 225 and a 255 your fronts will have a tiny bit of stretch and your rears will look meaty. Making up for the difference by using a spacer would look off IMO because your front wheel would be sticking out 15mm further than your rear wheel.

I would pick the same tire size (ie: 245/35) then add spacers to make them flush.

even with the tire width difference? Again, the rear 8.5s will be temporary. Though I may run a 245/35 all around.

Oh didn't realize the rears would only be temporary. Yeah 225/255 will work if they are staggered. 15mm spacer up front will be flush (need to be low for this to look good). A 10mm spacer out back would be perfect.

more low are in future plans...though a bit pushed back since I just bought these. Sounds like I should keep the front as is and add a 10mm spacer out back?
