so i did the math on tire thickness which I assume would affect ride height. The second number (275/40/19) is thickness as a ratio to width right?

so stock 275/140/19 would be 110mm thickness
re-11 285/35/19 would be 99.75 mm thick

stock 245/40/19 = 98mm thickness
re-11 265/35/19 = 92.75mm thickness

which means I will be losing about .5cm F/1cm R in ride height, correct?

And if I was to go with stock sized fronts, I would just lose the height in the rear and not in the front. Will this uneven drop make any difference?

Just wanted to make sure I got it right also. My exhaust canisters barely scrape on my apt parking structure speed bumps after gettign springs. An even lower ride height has me worried now.
