alright sounds good..but it still seems kinda odd to run a (even tho its minor) smaller diameter tire in the back

the larger width makes the tire taller.

There is no real difference. The 275/40s are .02 inches longer in diameter and driving 1 mile, they only turn 0.7 revolutions more than the 245/45. Here's a tire size calculator for ya.

With exception of WhiteThunder, Spike Africa, and myself, everyone in this thread is a total retard and should be :ban:

My brain hurts from trying to decipher the garbage your idiots are typing.

But by all means, have a nice ****ing day.
