Anyone try this combo? They don't have the right tire for the front (205/45/16 or 215/45/16) but they do have a choice of the 235/40/17 or 245/40/17 rear. The front tire has about a half inch larger outer diameter than the stock A048, the rear 245/40/17 is almost dead on. This is a very good tire that's doing well in SCCA street touring classes. Would there be a problem with the 50 profile up front and 40 profile in the rear?
