Tire question

I recently got a 16 R spec with all the standard clutch work already done. I wasnt that happy with the 28 Mega Mayhem tires, so i switched to a set of OEM 26" takeoffs from an X2. Oddly, the rear tire looks noticeably shorter than the front, any idea if that will cause issues, or should it be fine?
 
That's normal, the OEM rears are a bit shorter in profile than the fronts. As long as they're a matched set you'll be fine, no driveline issues to worry about, dont fret
 
Makes sense, just to be clear, so even with the rear tires being a bit shorter in profile, as long as the brand and model match the fronts, there shouldnt be any impact on handling or drivetrain?
 
As long as you got OEM sizes, you're good to go and have nothing to worry about. I'm also assuming that since you had 28ts and switched to the factory ones, the speedo will be closer to what it was tuned from the factory than before.
