Need expert opinions on this set-up...
18x9F 255/40/18 and 18x10R 275/40/18
Will that 255 be too wide in the front and possibly affect turn-in to an extreme, or will it be negligible?
The tires are S-03s at 26.1"F and 26.7"R, only .1" off stock fronts 26" on an 18" equipped touring.
Thanks!

I'm talking about the simple fact of having a 255 up front. Skinny tires turn in quickly and I wondering if that much contact patch on the front would make turn-in laborious.

I think that would be a decent configuration. LOTS of cars run that size up front. That size is not so much larger than the OEM to really make a big difference. You will feel a difference, but it will be more like a tighter suspension rahter than a pain to turn the wheel.
Besides... it will look awesome! I say go for it.
