It will definitely cause your tires to wear faster if you can not rotate them. If money is a definite issue, you may want to stick with the same size all the way around. On the other hand, if you want your car to stand out and look hawt, get the back wheels at least an inch wider. It will cost you in the long run, but you'll be happier with it. IMO

what do you think would be a good size to have all the way around? 275? 285?
