Help, front tire size 18"
I just got my first aftemarket rims on my 01 ws6 vert C6 Z06 DD, got 18 x 8.5 front 18 x 10.5 rear. Tires I have are 295 35 18 rear and 255 35 18 front. I don't like them in the front, I'm at factory ride hight and the damn front tire looks too small. I got the tires that size because they were on another fbod but I never saw them on plus I got a great price on them.
bottom line, what size could I go with that will give me some meat yet not look fatter than my rear tires...
Is 255 45 18 too tall, I mean taller than the rear? Or is 255 40 18 are the right size?
I would rather go with 255 45s to fill in the wheel well...but just not look bad.

Your rear tires are 26.13" tall. 4.07" sidewalls.
Your current front tires are only 25.03" tall with 3.51" sidewalls. No wonder they look small.
Going to a 255 40 18 in the front would make your front tires now 26.03" tall with 4.02" sidewalls. Much better, IMO.
255 45 18 would be taller than the rear tires by almost an inch with half inch thicker sidewalls, so don't do that
