Ok so last year i bought a new set of staggered 18" saleen replicas. for tires i got some 295/35/18's for the rear and got 265/35/18 for the front. well now i have a busted belt in one of the fronts and the dunlop 9000's aren't available for me to get anywhere. Ive not been throughly happy with the look of the front tire for some reason, i think it is because the sidewall is so much shorter than the rears. anyone have a better matching idea and possibly any pics

here is my current setup

Ill do 255S, I had 265 upfront and they looked bulky, yes even though the difference is minimal.

Id go 275, but depending on how low your car is, it may rub. Also, if you go with Nittos, they seem to have a little more tire there, and fill it up better. THose are Nittos on 18x9's in front in my sig pic, in 275/35R18.

255 40 18 on a 9 inch rim on the front. I have 295 35 18 on the back.

New edge though and huge fenders. Thing is the 255s sit perfectly flush with the 9" rims. I know SN95s chew tie rod ends so I went 255 after I changed them.

I usually run 265/35 and 295/35 on my 18x9/10 combo... but this time did 255/40 on the front. They have the same side wall as the 295/35 and give it an 'even' look. I like how the 265 sits on the rim better. That tiny bit of extra width looks better on the lip.
