Personally, I wouldn't worry about it. The fronts will be outlasting the rears anyway. By tracking the car you will have the rears down to 4/32 in no time.

Unless you are actually racing, I've never seen the value of shaving your tires. Yes, new tires that have not been shaved are going to be a bit squishy for the first few sessions, but it's not really that big of a deal.
