I currently run 245/40/18 in the front (rubs a little bit at full lock) and 265/35/18 in the rear (no rubbing). I think I may go with 285's in the rear next time I buy new tires, but only if I don't have to remove the quad shocks.
I run a 265/35/18 up front and a 285/35 in the rear. Go 295 you'll be much happier
Invo's 255/40/18 Front & 295/35/18 Rear
98$vt are you runnign a 315 out back? will they fit alright on a 10" rim. im not going to run anything under a 295 for sure. i need something that hooks because i make 450 to the wheels and anything smaller is pointless. on the 17x9s i run 275a now and all the car wants to do is spin
i know on my lighting i run a 305 does anyone make a shorter walled 305 or are my options 295 then 315

275/35/18 all around. Not a single issue, except MINOR rubbing on the inter bumper cover at FULL lock. Didn't bother me a bit.

18x10 275/40/18 for the rear.
18x10 275/40/18 for the rear.
question...
I just bought Saleen 18x9/18x10 setup and was gonna do the 265/35 front, 295/35 back on my 96 Cobra. You having any issues up front with 265/35?? Ive done 1 1/2 drop with all the Steeda goodies, so wasn't sure if you have a rub? Thanks for your time!!

On my 96 cobra I run a 265 up front on an 18x9, and I run a 295 out back on an 18x10. No rubbing front or rear at all. It's lowered on Steeda sport springs. I will probably run a 305 MT DR on the rear the next go around.
I'm going to be running 275/35/18 fronts on 18x9.5's and 315/30/18 on 18x11's. I would personally not run anything smaller than a 295/35/18 on the rears with 18x10. For the fronts I would run a 275/35/18 or maybe a 265.
This....
I run 275/315. no bulge.. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't run any smaller than 275 on the front.
I have a 295 on an 18x10 rear, perfect fit. I also have a 245 tire on an 18x9 front, would like to have a 255 but its not bad as is. There are tons of ppl using the 275 up front, seems big but evidently it works fine. I just like it to be clear that the rears are wider and I don't want any more tire pushing to the outer edge of the front fenders than I have to.
275/35/18 NT05 up front and 305/35/18 ET Street IIs out back.
265/35 18 front. 295/30 18 rear. Will be picking up Nittos for the rear and going 295/35.
fronts: 18x9 DD Cobra R, BFG KDW2 tires, 265/35
rears: 18x10 DD Cobra R, BFG KDW2 tires, 295/35
Dropped w/ Ford C Springs and Steeda stuff. I get just a touch of rub at full lock on the sway bar. I had 275/40 BFG's at first, but I was rubbing the inner fender. I think a 275/35 might have worked, but I went to a 265 to play it safe. The tires are flush with the fenders and have just the right amount of bulge (for me that is). The back tires fit just fine.

Those exhaust tips look good, what are the specs on them?
