Possible problems with this tire combination?
Possible problems with this tire combination? Hey guys, I'm looking for new tires for my 17x9 and 17x10.5 TTMs. I'm planning on going with a 315/35r17 Nitto 555r in the rear with a 255/45/r17 Fuzion Zri in the front. I'm looking at the Fuzion's for the front because they are cheap and have a similar tread pattern to the 555rs, but they are a tad taller tire than the 555r.
Anyways, I'm wondering how a 26.1" tall front tire is going to look with a 25.79" tall rear tire? (0.31 difference) Am I going to even be able to tell there is a difference by looking at them? Is this going to throw an abs light? Does anyone know if the 555r's still run narrow? I like the 315 555r's because the 315 Mickeys are just a little too wide for my tastes.
I'm open to suggestions for a different front tire if anyone has any. It's taking me forever to decide on tires, and I'm just ready to get these wheels on already.
Thanks

Edit: I just now realized Fuzion makes a 275/40r17. It's 25.7" tall, so I don't see having any problems running it with the 315 Nitto. Does anyone with 275s up front have any rubbing issues?
Alright so I'm set on going with a 275 up front, but does anyone think I'm going to have a front tire that appears taller than the rears?
I'm still a little confused on tire sizing. I still wanna go with the 275/40r17 Fuzion up front because it has a similar tread pattern to the 315/35/r17 555r. I just don't want the fronts to appear taller or have a taller sidewall than the rears.
Overall diameter of the Fuzion 25.7". Overall diameter of the Nitto 25.79"
Noob question and I'm probably over thinking it.

Hey:
Why not go with Nitto NT05 275/40ZRx17", 25.59" up front and NT05R p315/35Rx17",25.71" in the back. I think it looks better and will probably out perform the combo you had listed as well. The regular NT05 315/35ZRx17 is 25.55" and would probably work for 90% of what you want from a tire combo. Just putting out some options for you to ponder. From My Experience the NT05 is Nittos' best tire, not the 555.
