What size tire for Privat 9.5/18's I am going to get Privat Profil's on the GP and want to run 17 in front, and 18 in back. I want to keep the front tires I have now, which are BFG KD's in 275/40/17, and want to match the tires in back. But, I noticed on the TireRack site, that the 18's only come in 295/35/18 or 285/30/18. Will they look any different, and will both fit on the wheels? If so, which do you guys think will look better. I currently have 17/11's in the rear with 315's, and don't like the tiny bit of rubbing I get which is why I'm changing the wheels. I like the KD's so that's why I want to stay with them.
TIA

Dont do the 17front 18 back. I have that with my Y2K's now and I'm going to sell them so I can go 18X9.5 all around Privats. For a 18X9.5 get a 285/35/18. A 30 is rather small and not as safe. They can bust a lot easyer if you were to run over something. I have 285/35/18 Pilot Sports in the rear and love them.

285 Vs. 295 I've already decided to go 17 front and 18 back. 
That's the way my C5 Vette was, and I thought it looked fine. My original question was 285/30 vs. 295/35. BFG KD's aren't offered in 285/35, at least not at TireRack or Discount Tire Direct. 
So, back to my original question - 295/35/18 or 285/30/18. Will the 295's fit on a 9.5 wheel?
