The front tires will be about 0.6" more diameter and the rear will be about 1" less diameter. I'll let the shop sort it out.

I didn't think adjusting the height is a big deal. But thank you for the info.

I was hoping someone would chime and say, "Ya, those 275/55's in the rear have less sidewall flex than the 295/50's and what a handling difference." But I guess everyone here opts for "form over function."
