You will be fine. A small amount of differentiation is designed for by the factory.
'93 Winestone SS Auto, '91 Pearl White SS.
'93 Pure White SS EJ20G slanty intercooled, SIDESWIPED! In stasis.
'94 FWD and '95 AWD Laguna Blue SVXs.

Measure the circumference difference between all tires. Factory specs say there should not be more than 1/4" difference between all tires. A little more probably wouldn't hurt, but I wouldn't push things too much.

Use a string, roll over it, and then wrap it around the tire. Just mark where the two ends meet, remove the string and then measure the markings. Repeat for all remaining tires and compare your readings.
