Default Uh oh think i screwed up.

I ordered new tires yesterday.I ordered 285/30/18 for the rear. and i meant to order 245/40/18 for the front but i just realized that i actually ordered 245/45/18 on accident.Im pretty sure im going to end up with a taller tire in the front which is going to look silly.Anybody have any input on this? Did i mess up real bad?

I ordered my fronts and rears from two different places and i was able to contact the place i ordered the fronts from today.They were willing to change the fronts from a 245/45 to a 245/40 .Not a huge difference i know but much closer in size to the rears now.I dont think it will be very noticeable. I hope anyways.

Yes. A few more emails back and forth we found that he also had some 255/35 in stock.Even closer now. Im plenty happy with that and am so glad i contacted him before they were sent out.I wanna say that Big_O_tire on ebay was awesome in helping me and took care of my mess up no problem no questions asked.Very good seller.
