You may not have to adjust the front. You will have to adjust the profile of the tire. by looking at the std tire equation, the profile number is a percentage of the width. If the tire width gets smaller, you i will need a larger profile to make up the difference. Example. On my 545 I have 245/35/19 on the front and 275/30/19 on the front. different widths, different profiles, same size.
