Default Will 305/35's match 275/40's fronts ???

I currently have 275/40/18" tires on my front wheels . I am buying
two 18X10.5" Z06's for the rear . I was looking at 305/35/18 Nitto
555R's to put on them . How well would they match the front tires
and would the 305's look ok on a 10.5" rim ? Thanks

Use the tire calculator in the sticky up top . . .

You will be fine with a 305 tire on a 18x10.5" wheel, and IMO a 35 series profile is what you want when running a tire wider than a 275. A 275/40/18 tire will have nearly the same side profile as a 305/35/18 tire.
