[/qb][/QUOTE]did you run them through the calculator? The closest tire to stock diameter is the 275/35/18, the 255/40/18's are taller than stock and I think would look goofy with proper sized rear tires. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yeah... I think Im just gonna stick with my 265's because I think they look the best with the 295 rears. Theres something about 275's in the front that looks weird to me??? [/qb][/QUOTE]To find the tire height when new take the width and divide by 25.4mm/inch to convert into inches. Than multiply that number by the aspect ratio. Since you have to consider both side of the sidewall, multiply that number by 2 and finally add the rim diameter. Ie 295/35/18: 295/25.4 = 11.61 inches (11.61*0.35)*2 = 8.13 inches 8.13 + 18 = [b]26.13 inches[/b] I personally think the 265-35-18s are way too short for an sn95 with 18s. The 275's look awesome up front if you can get them to fit. 265-35-18: 25.3" -> Too short for an 18" on a big car 275-35-18: 25.58" 295-35-18: 26.13" 305-35-18: 26.41" [/qb][/QUOTE]Mathematically, you are right, but for some reason I prefer the look of a 265 in front?? 275/35/18 [IMG]http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q43/epikgt/Norcal%20SVTOA%20cruise/CIMG1279.jpg[/IMG] 265/35/18 [IMG]http://www.sosickphotography.com/photos/549810062_LSCet-XL.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
