18X9.5 5-120.65 56 BM
18X10.5 back:
18X10.5 5-120.65 58 BM
front tire will be:
Pirelli P-Zero Rosso
295/30ZR18 98Z XL N5
unless you guys have a better sugestion
back tire will be:
Pirelli P-Zero Rosso
315/30ZR18 98Z N5POR

18X10.5 5-120.65 58 BM

It will fit like you said but it probably isint the safest thing. Just like a 315 will fit on a 17x9.5" wheel but it is not recommended and is not safe. You are stretching the tires too much and there isint enough side wall to compinsate especially on 18's. For those wheel sizes the biggest recommended would be 285's up front and 305's out back. You could do 18x10.5" all around with 295's and be able to rotate, but you will probably rub up front with that wide of a tire and without modifications to the inner fender. Or just do what everyone else is saying and go with 275's and 295's.

I will take what you guys have said into consideration, but I did not ask what is the best tire/size combination because I would of just looked in the stickys. I asked HOW DO I GET 295 IN THE FRONT, 275 sounds nice and Il look into it but the backs are Staying 315, 345 would be nice but that might kill my drivability.

Yep I rub as well. It's only when I turn it all the way one way or the other. I never notice it but I have noticed a nice clean black mark on the inner plastic where the wheel rubs.
A 295 should be fine there really is't anything in the front to damage the tire, it will rub some but its no biggy. I've seen pic's of a 17X11 with 315's all the way around, so 295's should be fine.
