Default 285/35/18 on 18x10 all the way around?

I bought two 18x10 deep dish Bullitt rims and put on 285/35's for the back. Once I had them on I would decide what to run up front. Looking at them it appears they would work up front as well. Or put those up front and go a little bigger on the back? I have a 1" drop with adjustable panhard.

The offset is gonna dictate if they fit up front.
Put them on and see if it's touching your frame rails when you steer all the way, if they clear you're golden.

I run 275/40 on 18x10 +43 all around, eibach pro drop, no problem at all. I'm pretty sure you could run 285 but don't quote me.

I tramline pretty bad with 275's up front. I'd do 255's up front if I had to do it over again. Also, those 285/35/18's are about 2.25" smaller O.D. than stock and will not only throw your speedometer off by about 5 MPH (unless you have a handheld to change the revs per mile in the PCM) but also affects your overall gear ratio.

I'm running 275/40-18s all the way around with no worries. 285/35-18s would look pretty mean.

I went ahead on put them on up front. They look MUCH better up there than the back. I get a slight rub when wheel is turned all way. Now what to do with the back....thinking maybe a 20x10 with 285/35/20??

18 front and 20 rear? How about no (would look silly). I would just go with another 18 but if you want that pronounced rake look 19 is always an option.

The rims do not come in 19", or that would be what I would do. I'm cool with 18's in the back as long as I can get a tire that won't look like a donut back there. Biggest the Michelin Sports come in is the 285/35/18. I could do a 245/45/18 which is taller but then the front is wider.
