what are you running on the back? 275/40 on a 18 is kind of tall.. specially if you are running a 295 35 in rear the fronts would be taller.. not by much but the would have more sidewall

Thinking of running 305/35/18. Reason I ask is because I'm buying 2 rims with tires already on them. And the rims are 9.5" wide and have 275/40/18 already on them. I bought 2 other rims 10.5" wide. Off ebay for the back.

I don't have to run that size. Just figured since they were already on the rims I would run them if they would fit. And then go to a smaller front when need be

I'm running 275/40/18's all the way around on my Trans Am. I forgot the offset of my wheels, but I *think* they are 35mm.







Pardon the dirty car.

There is some minor rubbing at full lock in the inside wheel well. I don't know if you will have the same problem, or have it worse with your offset compared to mine. My wheels are pushed out nearly flush with the fenders.
