F/R series differences doesn’t really matter. The general rule is you want a tire in the rear that has a slightly larger diameter and sidewall measurement. That way, the DSC doesn’t get upset. If you run with DSC off you can run whatever sizes you want, but I’d still try to stick to that rule so handling balance doesn’t get too out of whack.

As an example, when I run R7s or 71Rs, I get a 265/35/19 for the front and 295 or 305/30 for the rear. The 305/30 has almost the same heights as the 265/35, but the 295/30 is a little too short. It works fine tho, bc I run with DSC off.
I have all stock suspension so I stick with the 255's front. I' probably go 285 rear. Would a 10.5", or 11" wheel be best for 285?
