Tire size question
I am thinking of getting some BBS RX series 18's. Now my question is would I be able to fit 255/35-18 in the front and 295/30-18 in th back? Will they fit into the fender wheel wells? Am I going to have fitment or rubbing issues? just wondering if anyone has fit this size before. And do you guys think this is overkill? If so then I will just go with 245 in the front and 265 in th back. Also am I going to have to get certain sizes on the rims for these tires? Such as 18 x 9 or 18 x 10 etc. Thanks.

You need to do a little more research then. The BBS RX is only available in an 18x8, which would limit you to a 235/40 tire. BBS doesn't really make FD friendly wheels in wide enough sizes.

As far as the RG-Rs, I was under the impression that anything wider than 8" didn't allow adequate brake clearance up front.

Well then what rim would you recomend that had the same or similar (or just plain looked good on a white FD) look to the bbs RX series rims that would be able to accept those tire sizes? Any recomendations? I'm looking for good looking 18" rim that doesn't weigh 30 pounds.
