this is a good question. Your rims are staggered but the tire sizes are the same all the way around?

As long as your overall diameter is the same, you should be good. But if you are using an inch wider rim with the same tire size, I don't think they will have the same diameter. You might need to go with 225s on the rears. But I'm just blowing smoke with the 225 guess.

The 11.5 is going to stretch the tire more then the 10.5. So the diameter is going to be different.

I would not run this setup honestly.

conversion spacers are 25mm. unless you have a widebody they wont fit. And unless your car is RWD i would not run them. You won't have the same contact patch front to back. You will mess up your diffs. even 10.5 is gonna take work to fit
