I have Nitto Invos 275/40 up front, Would there be any issues if I put a set of 315/35 Michelin Pilot super sport tires for the rears? This is only because Michelin does not make a 275/40 tire. My other question is the tread width on the Michelin tire 315/35/20 there are 2 to choose from one has a tread width of 11.5 the other is 12.5, My rear wheel size is 20x11, Which is the right tire width to get?

315/35/20 should work well with your 20x11.0 rear wheels as long as you have the correct offsets.
275s front with 315 rear is a popular setup.

The different tread width might be because they were measured on different wheels?
