305-35/18, 285-35/18, 295-35/18, 315-30/18 (probably the widest I would go)...on that note, 275-35/18 is the narrowest I would go.

i just put 265/35/18 at all four corners and looks perfect. I could not say running 275s up front they will stick out beyond the fenders or pretty darn close. In addition, they will most likely rub onwith a full turn. You won't find a tire in 305 tire in a 40 series.

I've got 295/35/18 BFG's on my 18x10 rear wheels and they fit perfect.

I'd throw em up front and get some 295s for your rear rims. I have 275s up front and have had no rubbing issues at all.
