So after reading what seems like countless pages I still have unanswered questions.

1st kudos to all the GREAT setups on here!

I am looking to replace my stock rubber this week and want to "expand" a little bit. I am considering the popular 265/35 285/36 RE-11's on my stock Rays.

Will I see/feel the difference in the OD decreasing .5" in the front and increasing .4" in the rear from stock. For some reason this doesn't sit well with me (little OCD) knowing my tires aren't the same OD.

I considered going 305/30 in the rear which would put both wheels at 26.3" OD. Will this tire fit properly? I heard someone mention that it may not increase the surface area since the tire will be constricted to the stock rim.

I will probably be purchasing wheels before I get new tires so I would like these to transfer over nicely.

I am running stock suspension/camber with no spacers.

THANKS!
