Default 255/45/18 fit on Front?

Will 255/45/18 on a 18x8.5 +30mm wheel fit on the front with no problems?

Base w/ no brembo.

Quick checking before I make a purchase. Thanks!

I'm sure will fit. A bit odd combination of wheel/tire size and offset if you ask me..
If you really wanted to you can fit 275 tires in the front.

I agree, the offset is not great but it'll have to do. I simply wanted to run the widest tire on a rim possible (255).

Wow I didn't know our fronts could run 275. I'm sure you need a spacer for that application right?

A 255 will fit fine. A 40 series sidewall woud be a better match to the stock diameter though.

Thanks for the confirmation. Yeah I know a 40 would be a better match, the reason why I was going to go 45 was to cover up wheel gap and also theres a tire in that size right now thats on sale. I figure the 3% slower won't make a big enough difference to keep me from making the purchase as long as it fits.

Thanks!
