That sidewall height number is actually a ratio of sidewall height to tire width. So the back will naturally be lower due to the fact that the tire is wider.

For instance, I'm buying some new tires for OEM 18's today. Fronts are 225/40 while the back are 265/35.

FWIW, I am most likely getting Kumho Ecsta ASX. If not those then likely some Bridgestone Pole Position 960AS. It rains a weeeee bit around here at times.
