I've been running tire size calculators on what some people have been posting from SEMA or what size tires they are running vs the OEM overall rolling diameter. Is anyone else besides me concerned with trying to keep the overall diameter as close to stock as possible? I'd like a wider rear when it comes time but some of the sizes that are really wide are no where near the same rolling diameter. Below is an extreme but you get the point.

Nothing special yet
If that is the extreme example I don't see it being a big deal. Yes 3.6% is a little too much deviation for my liking (and would not be legal here - maximum overall tyre diametre increase is 15mm of the largest OEM option) but I wouldn't have a great problem with it. I wouldn't choose something as extreme though, so my option would likely pan out to be +- 0.75%, from whenever I've looked at wheel and tyre options.
