Ok I am running into a little problem with my wheel and tire combo up front, and i needed your help in deciding a tire size. this is what i have right now, Rear 18x10 +13 offset 295/18/40 Front 18x9 +0 offset 265/18/35. I dont have any problems with the rear they fit perfectly , since i have a huge wide body in the rear where they could fit the body to the wheel tire combo. Up front i have 20mm wide fenders, but the 265s are just abit too big both on the tire and sticking out of the body with full negative camber. I am saying we shoudl go to 255s but the guy who is helping me out is saying if we go 255s up front then we should go 285s in the back, and of course i dont wanna do that. my questions is would i have major problems in hadling and under steering if i go 295 over 255? And also if you guys could give me some tire options, right now i have Advan A048s, unfortunatley they dont make 255s, i am looking at fk452s, good year eagle f1 gs-d3 ot the bfg kds. thanks in advance.

yeah thats too big for a 9...i see they make a 235, you could run that in front and your 265 in rear

or go to a different tire, ideally youd probably run a 245/275 or somewhere around there

that was one of the options brought up already, my rejection to that is why did i spent an arm and a leg doing the widebody if i am gonna go with 265's in the back. i could have fited those in the stock body with some finess. i am not hell bent on keeping the Advans i can go to a different tire. my worry is the handling.
