So I have 20x10 inch rims up front.
Nitto 555RII 305/35/20 : 28.4 inches tall.

I have 17x10 inch rims in the rear.
Im looking at MT 315/50/17 : 29.4 inches tall.

Will these still be within the proper percentage of each other? I get confusing info on 2%, 3%, 4%....... Will I be within the proper range here without destroying my transfer case?

I have a set of MT 305/45/17 and they are the exact same height as the fronts at 28.4 inches tall. Just wondering if I can get away with the rears being 1 inch taller with the 315/50's.

Trackhawks are AWD.
For Daily Driving I would consider this information.

"The front tires MUST rotate at the same speed (travel the same distance) as your rear tires and that only happens if they are the same circumference. If they are more than a 1/4" different in circumference and you're driving with all 4 tires are pulling, it will damage the 4 wheel drive mechanism"

If you are thinking for Dragracing
You could give HHPs sales a call (888) 894-1115 if you don't get answers.
Here is HHPs web link of what they sell for Trackhawks. Use it like an index.

Most likely someone might know the answer you are looking for.

It's really the static loaded radius that counts, so maybe play with the tire pressures?

A half inch of height disappears quickly with less psi.

Which they can't if you have snow chains installed, and they're tight.
