Why such odd tires sizes?

Your front overall height is about a half inch shorter than stock and the rear's are a full inch taller than stock.

the front height seems about right, everyone uses 40 height on 17's, and 18's are usually w/ 35's but that shouldnt be that big of a difference?

That would be 275/40/17 for an overall height of 25.66". His 255/40/17's are 25.03" in overall height. The rears being 26.66".

The "275" is the width of the tire itself. The "40" is the ratio, meaning it's 40% of the 275.

Here's the formula for calculating overall tire height: (((Width*(Ratio/100))*2)/25.4)+Rim Size

So it would look like this : (((275*(40/100))*2)/25.4)+17 = 25.66
