I'm looking at buying some Kumho MX tires for the stang. I just ordered 18x9 and 18x10 rims and i'm going with 295-35-18 in back and the smallest size they make them in with a 35 profile is 265. I wanna keep the same tire and profile all around, so do you think 265 is too wide for the front tires?

nope. some people are even running 275's.
it should work out.

a 265/35 will be much shorter in outside diameter than a 285/35. 35 is not a constant measurement. The 35 means 35% of the width of the tire while the 285 is the width.

You may get some of the 18 inch guys to tell you a good front/rear tire setup.

I'm running 315/35/17s and 245/45/17s and they are the same diameter..

how many of you guys are running taller profiles in front as opposed to the profile on the tires in back??? Ex: 295-35-18 rear and 245-40-18 front.

do you have any pics of your tiresi could see???
i'm thinking of running a set up like that.
i'm running 315s in the back for sure,
but i'm still debating on how big to go in the front.

Im running 275/35/18's up front. no probs at all, love the look. It is a tight fit though when my wheel is fully turned

here are the 285/40s and the 245/45s

Not sure on the exact sizes you will need for the 18s but this is what you want to do. Simply running a 35 on both will result in tires that are different heights.

i run 275 all around, no problems except when i do a U turn sometimes it makes a weird rubbing sound but i can usually do them without wheel all the way around =p (just rev and drop clutch 70%)

You'll be fine with a 265 in the front. I'm running that with my 18's on the front, and I have no clearance issues, and it looks good. I have a 285 rear, on the 18x10 rim, and it isn't wide enough, so the 295 will fit better. As for the profile, I went with a 35 all the way around, and I don't notice a difference.
