| I'm afraid your car will understeer like crazy with a 2 inch difference between front and back tires, no big deal - just so you are aware. I'm also worried about your back tire size.
At one time when I first bought my wheels I got some used free Pilot Sport tires to put on them. The sizes were 245/40-18 (I used them in front)
245/45-18 (I used them in rear - hapari!) The front seemed to work fine while abit too large in diameter.
However the rears were way too large in diamter and were VERY close to touching not on the top of the wheel well, but on the front of it(towars the doors). Talk to college boy as I think he had similar problems. If I go to that tire calc link above it shows 27" as the diameter of the size tire I almost had trouble with. Your tire size comes up as 27.1, so you may be VERY close, or you may be touching. To me, its close enough to cause concern. As I said in last night's thread, for perfomance ON THE Z32 the sweet spot is somewhere between 17" and 18" wheels. But, most everyone agrees 19" is too big.
You simply can't keep stock diameter and have sufficent size sidewall. Who knows, in a couple years perhaps some punk kid will come on here telling me how the tire market has changed and now 19" tires are deal on our cars.... Eitherway, good luck.
