I think they are 8.9 or 9F and 9.5R

I put 275/45/19 on my stock rears with no issues....the issue with the same size tire is that it feels wierd and requires adjusting...I am running 245 F and R now and it took about a week to get the hang of it...but no codes or engine related issues.

think you guys are confused on his question, he is looking to run 255 in the rear and keep his 225 up front. I don't see it being a big issue

The difference in tire height is 27.0mm. I think you are OK.
