I have the exact same setup you're discussing. I have a second set of replica 214s with 275/40/20 all around. It does look stretched in the rear, but the technician said there's no problem. I checked out the specs for Scorpions on the Tire Rack website, and the staggered rears were just slightly out of spec for the 275s. I already went through one full winter with them, and they worked great. While I would prefer 315 in the rear to be well within spec and keep the stock appearance, the 275s worked just fine. Winter's an ugly time anyway. You just need to be careful about potential curb rash.
