fan of big lips eh import!? LMAO!!! kidding...

275's in the front will work, barely, I have 275 40 17's and they are pushing it for turning and rubbing,
In the rear, a 315 35 wont work on an 18 inch rim, I have that size on 17's and I have a penny width for room. On an 18 you will rub. You'll have to go to a 295, which on an 18 inch rim will be about as wide as my 315's on 17's.

Talk to the Co. that sold me the wheels and they say go with a 295/35/18 on the back and 245/40/18 in the front. Any opinions on these sizes?

i think i would just run 275/40's all around. its nice to have a wide tire up front for better handling, and you can rotate your tires also

No not lowered... I think. The offset is 56mm on the rear and 46mm on the front. What are you thoughts on the 295/245 set up?

The 295/245 setup will work fine, but as he said, then you cant rotate them. Im running 275/40/17's all the way around and I love them.

I can't rotate them anyways being that they are 8.5 on the front and 10.5 on the back. Are you saying run 8.5 all around, or run the staggered wheels but same size tires?
