tire size question

Why would you want to do that? You are changing the overall tire diameter.
Here's a great calculator/visual to give you an idea: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

i realize im changing the overall diameter, with a taller tire i will get better highway mileage. both front and rear would be taller by about the same amount.
anyway, i pretty much decided on the following
fr 235/35/19
rr 255/35/19
both are slightly shorter and wider by the same amount so vdc should not have a problem.
anyone see any problems with this?
that is a pretty cool tire calculator btw

the extra weight would be very minimal
i realize my speedo would be off but only by about 2% or so

basically the tire i want does not come in a 255/40 but it comes in a 255/35. since thats a little shorter, i figured id go a little shorter in the front to stay consistent. a 235/35 is approx 8mm shorter than the stock 225/40 fronts. the 255/35 is approx 8mm shorter than the stock 245/40 rears. anyone see problems with this?

if don tells me that,
fr 235/35/19
rr 255/35/19
wont work, then i will have to find another option. but ive researched those sizes and the tire i want does not come in that rear size. but like i said, if he tells me that what i proposed is a bad idea, i will have no choice but to reconsider
i appreciate everyones advice
