Anyone run 305-35-18 Toyo 888 on rear?

I'm thinking of running this on the rear stock 18x10.5 wheels but the diameter is taller at 26.3".

I would also run a 275-40-17 up front.

Would this look funny or cause problems?

I ran the same exact combination. I just replaced the rears with something a bit wider and stickier.

Its not ideal, but I shoehorned some 335/30/18 Nitto DR under it. I need traction badly.
