17x11, 17x9.5 tire wear questions
Are there any wear issues/problems when running mismatched front to rear tire sizes (275 front on 17x9.5 and 315 rears on 17x11) which cannot be rotated?

There shouldn't be with a good alignment. I have that setup and get excessive wear on the shoulders of the front tires (hard cornering ) and bald tread in the back (lotsa burnouts ).

I have 2 F-Body friends running this combo with no unusual wear patterns.
