Default Anyone running 245/40-18 F 275/35-18 R ?

Anyone running this combo ? 245/40-18 on the front with a 275/35-18 on the back ? According to the size/mph calculator on the Discount Tire site, this would be the closest to the stock 275/40-17 setup on my SS. But being that the front sidewall height is 1.7 mm taller than the rear, would it look akward at all ?

Thanks

Thanks for the pics, the tire setup looks great. How much have you guys lowered your cars ? Those are some nice aggresive stances, and don't look like you have to worry about leaving your y-pipe on a speed bump somewhere.

I got Strano's so I'm roughly 1" lower and have yet to scrape the Y on anything.
