997 turbo tires - 245/35 & 315/30

Hi All,
Wondering if anyone is running this setup? As a % difference rear to front is 2.6 vs stock which is 2.8%. Seems like a better option than 245/45 & 325/30 which is 3.5% difference (on the outside bounds). Is the juice worth the squeeze? Or is too much risk on the AWD system.
Thanks!

Better question is will the fronts even fit? Tried those on my 996 TT and it was no way.

If you read this thread, you have the explanation on why you shouldn't use 315 on 19 inch, fried differential. That front profile on the front tire that you are proposing is way too tall, should be 245/30-19 to be equivalent to 235/35-19.

I use this size tire setup 245/35/19 and 325/30/19, works just fine.

This is 315/30 not 315/25 - so I was thinking it should be ok, and closer to the stock aspect ratio than 325/30. Has anyone seen any issues going 245/35 fr and 325/30 rr?? Tirerack says the should work but is on the outer bounds.
Thanks!
