Awesome!!!

This answers all my questions!

Ok...I'll be able to sleep at night again! lol

The tire/rim place didn't do a good job at balancing my wheels as I get vibrations at higher freeway speeds so I'll have to take it in to have it re-balanced. I'll ask them at the same time if they can apply more pressure and stretch the tire a little more to close the gap a little more.

Next time around I may go with 295 on the rear and look for a good match for the front. Although that probably won't work considering the 245's sit perfect on the front rim that's a 9.

As long as its safe and won't cause problems....I'm good.

I guess a carwash with a track system is now completely out of the question for me....the rear rims will be rubbing against the metal tracks with no rubber to protect them!
