The tires front to rear really need to have the same rolling diameter to work properly in the 4 wheel drive system and not cause drive system wear, so the 275/40 to 295/40 idea is out.

And I have heard nothing but good about the Vredestines so far.

Good luck and enjoy the new wheels!
I like the 20" wheel look. Not knowing much about tire-wheel basics, I would like to understand how when having the same rolling diameter is necessary to work properly in the 4 wheel drive system, that a '275/40 to 295/40' front-rear tire combo would be ruled out while the sizes of 275/40/20 front, 315/35/20 rear deemed acceptable?

Thanx
