275/40R20 and 295/35R20

Hi,
Has anyone run 275/40R20 fronts and 295/35R20 rears without any issue with stability control nor ABS?

I don't think that would be a problem but why would you want to have a smaller diameter tire on the back?

I'm running 315/35R20 right now and I feel like it's too much wide related to the front, although the grip is better with 275/40R20 rather than 245/45R20 I can feel a lot of understeer, and with the stock HorsePower of Camaro SS I thing is enough 295/35R20 for a good traction (275/40R20 definitely is not enough).
On the other side my rear wheels are 20x10.5 +25offset, very aggressive offset than makes the 315/35R20 Falken 453cc tires pass the fender about 1/2", that is not a problem because I've got fender flares, the problem is that with bumps and 4 people at high speed I can feel some rubbing with the fender flare. I want to make sure this won't happen again.

But then the tyre would be closer to the fender, probably itīll be inside the fenders but if it isnīt then more rubbing.

Thanks in any case.

I run 275/40r20 up front and 295/35r20 out back, all Nitto Invos. I've had no issues with this setup. In hindsight I probably should have gone 315's out back since the Invos run a little narrow. I was worried about rubbing because my car is lowered but they would have been fine. Also, I was just reading another thread about a 275/305 setup using the MT street comps, which sounds like the perfect setup.

I'd recommend a 285/35/20 front, and 295/35/20 rear.

I currently run a 275/40/20 front and PSS 285/35/20 rear. I wish I'd gone with 285/35/20 front because I can definitely tell the difference in sidewall height and aesthetically, it's not the most pleasing.

Well I would just change the wheels and get the correct offset. That would be my first concern. No problem. Glad i could help.
