just need to clear somthing.

i'm after an s4 and like most their permanent 4wd so need to know what if any tolerences are allowable on tyre size difference.

i would like to kit the car out with some nice euro look alloys.


rear 9.5x17"
front 8.5 x17"

the nearest tyre sizes to match rolling circumference are as follows:

rear 245/35/17
front 215/40/17

diameter difference is 0.17% actual 1mm total.

so my question is, would this cause stress on the diffs etc.
