Tire sizes, matching set? i recently bought a set of c6 17x8.5 +56mm and 18x9.5 +58mm rims. Xsta Z 28 recommended 265/45R/17 and 275/35R/18 because they will fit and my entire wheel size will stay the same and wont affect my spedo. Again, Thanks 
. However, I cannot find a matching set of tires, ie one tire company that makes both sizes. or more specificly, i cannot find the 265/45's. Like no one makes them. Tirerack doesn't even carry/have them.
I did find 4 matching tires in 265/40R/17 and 275/35R/18. Do you guys think that thats ok? Like will i affect my turning/steer/braking/ride? Its only a 5 MM difference between the front and back set of tires, but I really dont know how much of a difference that could make performance wise. Or can I use a wider tires? like 275 up front and 275/285 in the back??
Thanks!
