You might want to do some research on why tires have the numbers on them. You can have a 35 series tire that is taller than a 40 series tire because of the width. The first number on the sidewall is the width, the second is the size of the sidewall, (aspect ratio) it goes by a percentage of the width, the last number is your wheel size.

So if you're running a 255/40/X up front and a 315/35/x out back chances are the rear tire will be taller. Keep in mind some manufacturers run a bit smaller on sizes while others run bigger. The numbers SHOULD be right. Should.

edit - Also staggered size doesn't always refer to the wheel height, it often refers to the wheel width.
