I need suggestions for tire sizes for the front of my 91. I am running 18X9's up front with 265/35/18's which came off my new edge & the fronts are too wide for a lowered fox IMO. What size are you guys running that will match up with my 295/35/18" rears? I want something that wont rub, & maybe something with a bit of stretch so they will clear the fenders. I will be running BFG KDW2's btw. Thanks in advance....

i use 245/40/18 but they look a little stretched IMO. i rubbed on bumps but after i rolled the fenders it solved that. next set i put on will be 255's

I have 18x9 w/245/40 front but look too narrow ( curb in ) next set will be 265/35 for sure and 18x10 285/295 in the back.

Thanks for all the suggestions fellas. I currently have 265 bfg's up front, & although the car needs a camber adjustment badly, I can tell that the tires are still gonna contact the fenders regardless on hard bumps. The 245/40 seems to be the ticket.
