Little did I know I made a mistake buying taller tires. Given another chance I would buy the right size and not went cheap.

Yep;
Those are Full-sized meat's on a 9" wheel,,,
a 245/40 or maybe a 255/40 would have cleared...but i remember trying on my 275/40's up front on rear base wheels & it was taken right back off.
You did well spending that small amount for tires-may be able to re-sell them for at least what you paid?

I think I would do that. It would be the simplest way to solve my problem. Since I messed up on the tires, I should just replace the front and run stagger. As much as I love to run square, it won't happen with 265/40s size.

So...
Overall diameter for 265/40 is ~26", while 255/35 is ~25". (F:255/35 R:265/40)

Anyone have experience how our cars handle with rake from different tire size.. Or it won't make a difference?
