Default Revs per mile help

I put on my new rims and tires on yesterday. My only problem is adjusting the tires revs per mile. I have 285/35-18 on the rears and 255/45-18 on front. Since they dont have the same revs per mile, I was wondering which side do I change the revs per mile for, the front or back?? (I used my predator, and have revs per mile currently set for the rear tires.)

Thanks in advance.

Your vehicle'sdriveshaft powers the rear tires, so you got it right.
If you drove a FWD vehicle, then you would set the Predator for the front tires.

Why didn't you get 285/40/18s for the rear? They are exactly the same diameter as the 255/45/18s (27"). The 285/35/18 has a 25.9" diameter.

Just wondering.

Yea, thats kinda bothering me, but AmericanMuscle didn't have the Sumitomo's that size (I don't think sumitomo makes that size). I can live with it though, I'll be sure to get 285/40's next time though.

-P.S.- I was thinking about getting285/40's right after I put them on,but is it too much hassle just for looks?

You may be right, Sumitomo might not make that size. I was looking at the BFGoodrich gForce KDW2 tires from tirerack.com.

Post picks with your new setup. I am planning to get 18 x 9" and 18 x 10" wheels too. What offset are your wheels. I have been doing some research on new wheels.

The offset on the 18x10's are +45mm, the 18x9's are +34mm. I'll try to get pics on by tonight.
