Is my dealer an idiot?
I had an unfortunate experience with a NYC multiple pothole'd road, only to literally destroy my front end. Long story short....went through insurance, got 2 new front rims/tires, tie rod end, etc... Just installed another stock set of rims with Yokohama Parada Spec-X's, only to find out when my dealer repaired my car, they crammed the 275/40-r20's on my front rims. I know they came with the 245/45-r20's. Should I be concerned?

I personally would like to have larger tires up front. .. better grip in the corners.

First determine if they gave you 8" or 9" rims. If you have 8", then I would have the smaller tires put on. If they are 9", then keep them and you'll have the same size shoes all around. And you'll be able to rotate f-r.

The 275 was more expensive as well, not by much but more money for the wider tire

A 275 tire is too big for an 8" wheel. A 275 should have at least a 9" wheel. I would not run that set up especially on the front.
