I was wondering if anyone has tried to stagger the tire size to make up the difference in the final rear end gear of a manual 3.545:1 to a auto 3.307:1???

I did some quick calculations and it looks like you would need around a
(225 50R 16 at 24.9") in the front to a (225 60 R16 at 26.6")

What I would like to do is run a auto in my 93 Talon manual that has a four bolt rear end.
This way I could retain the four bolt rear end.
