Of course, I didn't realize this until 3-4 weeks after the fact. I ordered (4) Nitto 555 275/40/18's and discovered yesterday that one of the rear tires is actually 285/40/18. It took a MONTH for Cruzin Concepts to even send them, so I almost don't even want to bother with them again. Plus, it was my responsibility before I put them on to ensure they were correct and I admittedly did not. My question is, is there any cause for concern here? I don't notice any height difference whatsoever, but the left side does protrude just a small, tiny bit. Is this something I can live with?

Granted, I am not a tire expert but I think it shouldn't matter that much. Might cause slight unever tire wear over time but it would take a while.....

Well if you don't want to mess with the seller again, shop around for the matching tire and sell your other tire. That's about it.

Look here for example:
