You could run a few setups, depending on how much you want to stretch.

I would personally run 235/40/18 front255/35/18 front

Yokota180sx has recomended225/40/18 front235/40/18 front

thanks for the feed back. I might go with 225/40/18 front and 255/40/18 rear. And I will be installing coilovers soon and getting the fenders rolled what do you guys think????????
