So I finally bought set of new wheels and told the shop that the car has staggered setup. He could not print a detailed receipt because the printer was not working. He emailed the receipt.

245/40/19 front
275/40/19 rear

It should have been 275/35/19 rear. I’ve read about the speedometer accuracy and this would throw off about + 4 mph when running at 65mph.

Is this acceptable to you guys? Should I just run this setup? I’m going to call the shop in am to tell their mistake.
 
RWD or AWD? If AWD, the heights might be too far off of each other
 
RWD

I called the shop and got it corrected.
Enkei Raijin Black 19 x 8.5 +35 front
Enkei Raijin Black 19 x 9.5 +35 rear
245/40/19
275/35/19
 
Those are about 1/2" taller, but even height front to back.

Don't you guys have problems with the cops in the US over different tire sizes?
You can't pass the bi-annual inspection in the EU with out of spec tires. Also, if the police stops you (for any reason) and checks the tire sizes, they will suspend your car registration and give you a hefty fine.

Not at all maybe for trucks if you have oversized tires without mudd flaps

Here in the US, vehicle inspection criteria is left to each state to set their own. Most states don't require much more than checking all tires have at least minimum tread depth and are DOT legal (no racing slicks or offroad-only knobbies). Here in TX, stations I've been to don't even look at the tires (other than a cursory glance), except on my road-legal dirt bikes.

LEOs don't typically care what tires you have on, but they might possibly use anything that might be non-compliant to state laws as a pretext to stop a suspicious vehicle.
