So if you want to run staggered, you try to keep the overall diameters very similar. Usually this means jumping three tread width sizes. 215/40-18 (24.77 OD) on the front, 245/35-18 (24.75 OD) on the rear. That kind of thing. 225f/255r is very common; 235f/265r is somewhat common. Or you keep the sizes square and not worry about it.

I have some questions about a similar situation, I'm getting 18x8s. Cant decide if i should go 225/40s or 245/35s tires. Pros/Cons with each?
Im guessing 245s:
+rim protection
+grip
-handling
-steering responsiveness
-ride quality
Is this correct? What about just the 245s in the rear?
