Tire sizing help
Has anyone tried running 255/40/18 in the front and 285/35/18 in the rear?
My ARC-8 wheels have a 32 and 25 et What are your thoughts guys?

I am running Michelin Pilot SS 275/35R18 Rear & 245/35R18 Front, very close but no rubbing lowered on KW clubsport coilovers. In my experience, the sizes you are looking at will require additional suspension tweaking at the least and possibly fender rolling.

I've been running 255/35 x 18 on the front and 275/35 x 18 on the rear for some time on stock style 108 wheels with no issues. The widths you want to run would be OK, but IMHO the wheel offsets are going to push you over the edge.

You should have at least a 10" for the 285 It matters what tires as well. I'm running 265 star specs front and rear on 9.5" rims, but the sectional width is close to other brands 275
