different diameter wheels

Post by bobfish45 »

The rear wheels on my passat are 9j, fronts are 8j, both 18 diameter. I have been looking for some time for spare 9j's and two have come up. These wheels have 265/40x18 tyres, my own tyres are 235/40x18. The difference in circumference on these potentially new rear wheels is 24mm. Is this likely to cause problems in speed between front and rear wheels.
Bit technical this ;)
