+1 Keep all sizes the same all around to avoid tc issues.

It's an AWD thing not a domestic/import thing.

I have 255/35 all around on 18X8's without my fenders rolled (yet) and have no issues with rubbing in the back. I would get the same all around!! Thats your best bet!!!!

you trying to run 255 on 10" wide wheel? 255 is ideal for 9" wheel, 275 is what you should run

Are you fenders rolled at all? Alignment? Suspension?

I would think with the 10" wheels, you're going to have issues regardless without the above?

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
Any stretch is absolutely stupid. You have no idea what forces are pushing against the sidewalls.

And again, you CANNOT run different sized diameters on an AWD car.
