With mine i ran a 265/35/18 (9.5) in the front and in the back had the 295/35/18 BFG DR's in the back and the only time i would rub in the back is when cornering pretty hard and i didnt have to use a spacer

I had 245/40/18 in the front and 275/35/18 in the rear on my SS and the staggered look was great. Your car will actually handle better with the smaller tires in the front and larger tires in the rear.

I dont want anything bigger then a 255 in front but I got some BRAND NEW 225/40/18 tire so it will fit but might look goofy to some people.... Right??? I got 295/35/18 for my rears just need to know if those will fit safely dont care about the look..

First of all, I'm not flaming anyone with this comment. I just do not understand how anyone could put something less that what is RIGHT on their car. If you put nice wheels on your car, at least put nice tires on the wheels. Don't put something that isn't meant to be on the wheel just because you have it laying around. Buy what needs to go on the wheel and sell what you have laying around. Someone will need them.
