Use different aspect ratios.

I just read an article on Summit Racing's "Quadradeuce" '32 Ford (if 
there's an original part left on the thing) with a 406ci fuel 
injected small-block Chevy engine, 6-speed manual tranny, AWD system 
from a GMC Syclone, Corvette independent rear suspension, 
"IndyCar-type" front suspension...  Neat stuff, but I feel like I'm 
posting a shopping list.  ANYWAYS, the tires are 315/35zr17s rear and 
275/40zr17s front - different widths, same overall diameter due to 
juggling the aspect ratios.
