Default Which tires do you recommend will look best

I can't decide between 285/30/18 or 285/40/18 for my front tires. I have my mind made up on Bf kdw2s. The rears on my car are Bf goodrich d/r 345/30/18 @ 26.2 height. The rear heights are 24.8" for the 30s and 27" for the 40s. Which do think would look best?
BTW I have 2" drop in front (lgg2) and hotchkis in back 1" or so. Wheels are 18x9.5, 18x12

The OD of your tires is too great of a difference, your ABS computer will fail . . .

18 x 9.5" I'd say a 275/35ZR18 would be best. at 25.6" od.

Never on a 9.5 rim. The other poster said that was a fat tire out back. I said if you want fat look at 315 gs d3. Thats fat. But we love each other around here anyways (big group hug)...
