the 305/45-18 is 29" tall i believe. I had a set of Nitto DRs in that size on my Lightning.. They fit just fine on an 18x9.5 but its WAY too tall for an Fbody.

265/35-18 for the front and do a 285/35-18 on the back. That will give you a nice staggered look and you can run Nitto dr's out back.

If you do a 265/40 in the front, your fronts will be taller than your rears.
