Default Some help

Ok guys, I know this is way off 4.6 subject but it seems more of you guys have aftermarket wheels and tires. I just bought 2 18x9 Saleen's and 2 18x10 Saleens. My question is to stay with 4 Kumho tire's I have to go 255-35-18 up front and 295-35-18 in the back. But will the 255's rub in the front? I have 235-55-17's up there now with my old Cobra's and they rub when I hit a bump. But it might be because of the huge sidewall. Anyways give me some opinions.

Thanks

I have 235/45/17 tires on my car all around and they never rub. Maybe try a smaller sidewall.

I'm not putting tire's back on the Cobra's. I'm just trying to figure out what size to put up front with the new Saleen's. Thanks anyways though.

a 255/35/18 should be fine
the stock cobras have 275/40's on them, and they dont rub, and those tires are a bit wider then the ones mentioned above, by 4/10 of an inch, how far is your car dropped?
