Default tirerack questions me ordering 275s up front?

I placed an order for 4 kdw2s 275/35/18. Anyway i got an email saying they are only reccommended for the rears. I told them I have run 275s up fron for years and it has 275s up front right now. Any input on this?

I'll be ordering the exact same tire and size for my Z in a day or two from tirerack. Everything I've read says 275 is the ideal tire width for the 18 x 9.5" wheels. Strange.

275 is the perfect width for 9.5 inch wheels and will fit fine on the front. Tire Rack's customer service is very good and they were just making sure you're getting what you want.

I run 275s up front and have never had a problem with them. Go for it.

Tire Rack is VERY conservative on tire sizes. If they in any way feel your choice in tire size is in error in any way they will question it.

But as everyone has said a 285/35ZR18 is PERFECT!!
