Just wondering

i currently have 245/35/20's & 275/30/20

the front rubs even after rolling and cutting as much as I could.

I ordered 245/30/20's for up front since it's about overall 1 inch less of tire around.

can i stick with the 275/30/20's in the back or is that not safe?

i dont really want to spend more money on tires if i dont have too.

i know most use 285/25/20 in the rear with the new size fronts i'm going with but can i just drive my 275/30/20's til there dead and replace with 285/25/20 afterward?

Totally acceptable and within limits to keep the rears as is.
