2/10's of an inch and 6 rev's/mile difference. Is this close enough not to mess up the AWD?

The 275's are actually closer, but then I have potential rubbing issues.

Anyone running these?

Please tell me these will work ok, I'm so tired of looking for tires, LOL

Thanks
Those are 0.857% different in OD. I guess that falls within the 1% quoted here by others here but I'm not at all sure where that number comes from. The OEM staggered packages on the xi have a much smaller 0.2% difference.
