guestion before i order tires

[jeffl9682]

i have finally decided on tires, im going with 295-35-18 in rear, my only question is what would look better in front? the 275-35-18 or a 265-35-18 front? i used a tires size calculator and the size difference between the 265 and 295 are drastic. the 275 seems to match the 295s better. your thoughts??

You can't go wrong either way. The most popular combination with 295's in the rear is 265's for the front. In terms of overall diameter, the 275/35-18's are better.

I'm also about ready to step up to 295/35/18's in the rear and have decided to go with 255/40/18's up front. I like the fact that the height of each tire compliments each other with the front being slightly smaller than the 295’s but slightly larger than the original 245/45/17’s. Also, the side wall height's are about the same (4.01 front, 4.06 rear). What I haven't considered is the drivability issue due to the differences in widths. Is there one?

Oh yea, as a PS to my above question, I really like the Nitto Invo. One thing is that with my 18" staggered rims I'll be able to still rotate my tires. Have you had any feedback on this tire either good or bad?
Thanks.

The 18" sizes you have picked out shouldn't cause any negative handling characteristics and you're right about asymmetrical tires. They can be rotated from side to side without being dismounted off the wheel. All the reviews I have herd first hand have been very positive. The Invo rides quiet and is extremely responsive.
