As I explained the fronts should be the same diameter or larger by 1% when compared with the reara. The fronts should not be smaller diameter by any amount. I have similar problems as the op with my 225/40 265/35 18 inch setup which is actually a bigger difference than his setup. Not sure why he lost a clutch actuator and I haven't but there are a lot of variables to consider and it could just be luck of the draw.
Basically stick with square setups or fronts that are the or greater in diameter by 1% when compared to the rears.
