Default RE: tire size

I am looking for the same thing....I will give you a diagram of what I know so far

STOCK 225/55R16
Tire diameter = 25.744

To keep same diameter means no Speedomiter change (these tire ratios are the closest to stock you can get)
245/40R18 in the front (18x9)
Tire diameter = 25.716
275/35R18 in the back(18x10)
Tire diameter = 25.578

The problem I am having is I saw some rims for sale in the parts department of a ford dealership
18x9's and 18x10's they had
245/40R18's on the 18x9's
and
275/40R18's on the 18x10's

I jsut found a set of tires for a really good price look like great tires good reviews etc with the same size's as the dealership rims/tires I saw at1010tires.com they were General exclaim UHP's

ONLY thing is the tire diameter on 275/40R18 is 26.661
1" higher than stock and I am trying to find out if that is ok or not...If you get an answer let me know
