Default 335 rear what size in front?

Previous owner of my 98 Camaro had 335s in the back before he sold it to me. BFH and cut the lip on the fender. I'm running 315s right now but if I wanted to run 335s what sizes should I get. 335/35r17 rear and what up front? Right now I got 315/35r17 and 275/40r17 and the height is the same. With 335s is there any combo with the exact same height front and back? Oh yea i 17x9.5 in front 17x11 in back. I tried searching but couldn't find the answer. Thanks

I think your confusing the tire size, the overall height of a 335/35 and a 315/35 is the same. The second number, 35, is what determines the height of the tire.

So with 275/40 up front works for you? No traction control problems with thw different heights?

I know 315/35 and 335/35 both have 35 as the height. I guess the word I meant was overall diameter. Overall diameter being how tall the tire actually is. When you put it into a tire comparison chart it list them as slightly different diameters.

275/40 would work and look good.

False

35 is the aspect ratio

35% of 335, determines sidewall height

35% of 315, determines sidewall height
