205-45-17 front 215-45-17 rear?

Is anyone have different tire sizes for front and rear like 205-45-17 front 215-45-17 rear???

I have 205-45-17s both front and rear now. But i got bubble on the sidewall of Driver side rear tire.

The problem is i was going to change the tires to 215-45-17 when i need to replace them in the future. But, like i said i need replace them now.

So, any suggestions? Thanks

Yes, but typically that's with a staggered wheel set-up where the rear wheel is wider than the front.
Can you still do it? Sure; however, the difference in rolling rotation is about 1.5% slower.
I don't believe the ABS system is that precise where it's reactions should affect drivability.
