Those diameters are more than a half an inch off. Not good.

what about a 275/35/18 for the rear would it be ok with the slightly smaller front tires if i adjusted the psi in tires so all four would be the same diameter

What happens when the tires warm up? I wouldn't do it because you would not be able to guarantee even friction/expansion. Are you simply trying to do this to make it look more aggressive?

You're going to do this for "looks" I presume?
Its going to hurt the performance of the car.
I run 10.5" rims in the front on 265's and 9.5"rims in the rear again with 265's. But this is to allow me better turn in and removes under steer. What you are doing is wrong and will create more under steer.
