Im planning on getting 18x9 for front wheels, and 18x10.5 for the back. I know the ideal tires to get on the rear are 315/30/18, but im not sure which ones to get for the front 18x9? Also the website that im planning on buying the tires from "315/30/18" says that its for porche. would that be a problem?

I run 275/35/18 on my 18x9 I've seen as low as 245 i believe but I like a little meat on my sidewall so the rim is protected from curbs at least partially.

315s will not fit on the front, you will not be able to turn without rubbing really bad. 265-275/35/18 will be perfect

most of the 315/30/18s are 25.5" tall. most the 275/35/18s are 25.7" tall. So, reverse rake in essence and a lot of wheel well showing in the rear. I personally think it looks poor. most 265/35s are 25.3" tall so that might look more proportionate with a 315/30/18

i went with a 315/35/18 (26.3" tall) rear and 275/35/18 (25.7") and couldn't be happier. The rear fender will have to be rolled however. but my rims are 18/9.5 and 18/11 so thats a slight difference from what you are running

I have 285 Pilot Sports up front. I love them. When these go, I'm probably going to get the new Pilot Sport Super Sports.
