Different tires, front/rear?
Will i run into any problems running different tires in the front than the rear? I have 255/40/18 bfg kdw's up front and 295/35/18 bfg comp t/a's in the rear waiting to be mounted/balanced. Just making sure it would work. Thanks guys & happy (late) new years!

Other than not being able to rotate front to rear, you'll be fine. Since you have a tuner, you can adjust your speedometer for the new rear tire revs/mile. Also, you didn't mention what rims you're puting the 295's on so I'll assume they're NOT the stock 18 x 8.5's. The 8.5" rims have a recommended max of 255's.
Personally, I don't care for the smaller sidewall but it may not be an issue depending on how you're running them.

Theyre going on staggered 18" black chrome fr500s. I understand i won't be able to rotate them. Thanks for the reply bud. I'll post pictures once its all set&done and you can post your HONEST opinions on the sidewall then
I am sure they are big but never really looked at them super close or got a shot from the rear showing the tires. I got rid of my 20s because I want to get some good tires for doing autocross and some track days. The 20s looked good but are piled in the corner of my garage. I need to sell them to buy another set of 18s.
