Def. a 275/40 on the front. A 275/35 on the rear? Not real sure because the 18" tire will have less sidewall.

I've got 275/40/18 Goodyear Eagle F1's on the rear of mine and they fit great.

Find an online tire size calculator and put your original tire size in and then the size you want to go to. It will give you the height difference and what speed diff the new tire will indicate. You can find this at a certain discount tire's website, I can't say the name since they aren't a site sponsor.. Good to use if you don't want to pay to have your speedo recalibrated.
