I'm replacing my stock tires with 245's front and 265's rear. I searched and its unclear whether I should get 265/35/18 or 265/40/18 tires. Anyone know whats the best way to go?
Use a tire calculator to select alternative sizes: http://www.dakota-truck.net/TIRECALC/tirecalc.html
The actual plus fitment is 245/40r18 front 275/40r18 rear. I have fitment options for tires and wheels at my finger tips. If you need to know widths and profile for tires or widths, offsets, etc for wheels I have it!

The problem is that the car already understeers alot stock. Having a 30mm differnence will make it worse.
If you are going to run a width of 265 you need to run a 40 series tire to keep the height difference. 265/35r18 is almost 1/2 inch shorter than 245/40r18. Especially if it has traction control. The difference in tire height will definitely mess with the abs sensors.

The 35th Aniv. has 18x8 front 18x8.5 rear. The fitment guide that I have shows that 245 is the widest recommended tire for the front with no rubbing problems. A 265 tire on 8 inch width wheel the tire will probably look to big for the wheel
