Default Anyone running 2xx/45/18 front and 2xx/40/18 rear

Anyone running these? I don't care what wheels, just the sizes and on an fbody. I need some answers quick, as I'm looking to get some new wheels and tires, and these tires come on these wheels. Anyone? I'll bump this as many times as may need be.

A 265/45 will be too much sidewalk for the front IMO. I ran a 265/35/18 in the front and 295/35/18 in the rear. To me, it looks horrible when the front tire has more sidewall than the rear

thats too much sidewall for the front (27.4" OD). if your lowered you will rub turning, even if your not you may still rub. Back when i was running 275/40/18 on all 4's i would rub around hard corners in the front.
