Default Tire sizes

Hey I'm trying to find the right tire size combo right now. Does anyone know if it would be noticeabout for the front tires to have a sidewall height of 40 on the front, and 35 on the rear? I dont want to get the tires if it looks like the backs are tiny

If your car is at stock height, it will be very noticeable that you have 40's on front and 35's on the rear. IMO, just go 40's all the way around. That way you can rotate without having to worry about sizes. What kind of tires are you looking at?

I have 60 on the front and 50 on the rear. That number is a percentage of the tire width. So if you have wider tires in the rear, like me, you wouldnt want to get the same sidewall all around. If I had 60 all around, the rear tire diameter would almost be 3 inches larger in the rear.
