LOL... in essence: individually calculate the percentage difference of the new tire front and rear tire sizes to the stock sizes, then subtract the rear percentage from the front percentage to get your total deviation. If that total is less than 3% you should be ok. If ok there then consider the changes to the vehicle rake and ensure front not higher than the rear.

I'm paraphrasing, but I think that is essentially it. Before I got Arpad's formula, Yes, I was internally spazzing out thinking I bought rims and couldn't put wider tires on my car.
