That's the rolling diameter of my front vs. rear tires. Stock is 26" and 26.7". I keep reading something about the difference between front and rear should be >.5" and <.7" or the ABS/VDC may not function properly.
Is this 100% accurate and documented somewhere? If so, I'll have some brand new 255/45/18 S-03s for sale soon.

from what i know (i called tirerack on this) you should always keep the overall diameter of the wheel/tire comb. for 18" wheels the only tire sizes that work is the stock sizes, and 245-40 (front), and 275-40 (rear)..to go with 18x8.5 and 18x9.5.

This is correct. The stock config of the Z has the rear tires about .7 inches bigger in circumference (diamater?). Anyways, like on my 18 stockers it's 245x45x18 in back and 225x45x18 in front. So the rear are a bit bigger in circumference.
