Message	whereas a 275/35 if one existed would be almost 14 mm shorter To put things in perspective a 275/40 (which I have on the back has 110mm of sidewall, meaning 55mm above the rim and 55mm below. The 255/40's which I had before has 102mm of sidewall, 51/51. The car now, with the same size back tires has 85mm of sidewall on the front. 42.5/42.5 So the rear tires are now about 1.5 inches taller than the fronts. I knew this would be the case when I bought them, but I didn't think it would look so dramatically different when I put em on the car.
