As the topic said, Im debating (lacking in knowledge) on what size tires to go with, I have a 95 stang GT, and i bought a set of 18" Cobra wheels, the rears are 10" wide and the fronts are 9" wide. . . .

Back 275-295 fronts 255-275. Mind you that's just me. More replies to follow I'm sure.

so if i went with 265 for the front and 295 for the rear should i go with 40's for the front and 35's for the rear, would that keep me roughly the same diameter?

TOPLSFOX

Yes. That would work.

i have 235 45 17`s on my front
and 255 40 17`s on the rear,... wider rear wheel lower profile

Keep in mind that the wheel wells are much larger then a fox. Is the car lowered?

Most people either run the 18" Cobra's, or the 18" Saleen's...rubber size I can't answer that sorry, im not a tire shop

With 18's,you want to run 35 series.This way you will keep with the same overall tire radius,plus some sort of comfort at the same time.
You would be safe with a 285 out back for sure,295's will be close.
for the front,anywhere from 245 to 275.
On other popular boards i go too,the above is the average to what guys are running for rubber on 18's.

If i went 285/35/18 for the rear and 275/35/18 for the front the radius on the fronts will be smaller then the rears, shouldnt i go with a 275/40/ for the front, my wheels are staggered too, my fronts are 9" wide with a 1" lip and the rears are 10" wide with a 3" lip i believe. . .

Thanks guys
