go wider upfront like a 265.. And i hope you dont want to lower it too much because you might run into some issues

If i go wider upfront how tall should they be? I had 245/40 already and they were pretty skinny and low pro. Maybe a 265/60/18?? I'm sticking with the 18s because I like the look and I want to lower the car but with all that mean in the fenders it has a mean stance and looks lowered already. Any one have any pics so I know what it is that I'm looking at? I'm hoping to get for Christmas from the old lady so I'm needing to choose soon.

a 265/60 will look like a truck tire up front.. especially compared to the rear...

i dont think you will rub with 245/35/18 in the front, but i dont know about the rear.

my friend has saleens 18x9/10 and he has 245/40 and 265/40 or something like that, and he is at stock ride height. looks like a truck bc it has 2 inches of wheel gap basically.

and as long as the diameter of the wheel/tire is basically the same as stock, i dont think you will have a problem with going lower

the middle number is the height or i think some call it the aspect ratio.. And the smaller number the lower profile.. you would probably have to use a 255-265/35/18
