Default quick tire question

Is anyone running, 265/35-18 front and 285/35/18 rear on there 05-07 stang?

1.if so, how did you flash your car... for both the front and rear, or just rear?
2. I assume this set up lowers the car a little bit
3. is 265/35/18 safe for the front?

I would go 265/40-18 or 265/45-18 for the front 265/35-18 the sidewall would be tiny!

Yes, both the 265/35/18 and 285/35/18 are an inch smaller in diameter than stock 27".

How wide are the rims? Common staggered sizes are 8.5 front on 255/45/18, and 9.5 back on 285/40/18.
