Is this ok to do?
Basically the back of my car has minor rubbing with uniroyal rainsport 205/40/17 and i want to fit 195/40/17 Pirelli P Zero neros at the back to cure it...
The front has plenty of room, and to get the rolling radius on the 17's down, i want to use 215/35/17 P Zero Neros on the front...
So i would have 215/35/17 front and 195/40/17 rear, with slightly different rolling diameters, will this cause me any handling oddities?? Is the different width a problem?

I would be worried about having thinner tyres on the rear if it came to having to break hard and loosing it, you'll have the back end out much easier which is dangerous

Its the same reason you never put more worn tyres on the rear than on the front
