Default 255-265? What looks good on 18" fronts

Which size would look better? I have 275 up front now on 18" Rims, I have 295/35/18 out back but what size is needed for the front? 255/40 or 45 or 265/35 or 40?

i think the 275's look good on the front. when you say you want the tire size smaller are you talking about the 275? 35?


you could go to a 255/35

I just wanna make sure that the tire looks like it fits the rim, I have seen some people put to small of a tire on them and they look silly, would 265/35 work too or would I have to go with 265/40's?

A 265 will look silly, narrower than the wheel, 275/35ZR18 looks like they are MADE for a 9.5" wide wheel, check the pics in my sig . . .

guess I'll look for another set of 275's then, I hate it when the tire looks smaller than the wheel.

Yeah, when I had my 94 Camaro, I had 265's on 18x8's. If you have 9.5's, I wouldn't go anything narrower than 275's.
