Default Anyone running 235/40/18 for the front?

I've been searching on here and couldn't find anyone who's running this size for the front. Just going to be using my track wheels (18x8 front) and I actually have 2 new 235/40/18's at my dads shop which I can't sell/get rid of so I figure maybe I can use them.

***rears will be stock size 245 45 18***

I know its a much smaller tire by .57" diameter. 2.2% smaller than stock. Would this affect VDC?

Thanks in advance.

Depends on your rear tire size.

Thanks in advance.
if you arent changing the size of the back wheels as well, yes, it will affect your VDC, I believe the combined difference cant be beyond 2%, but I dont remember for sure. So you've already surpassed that.

You could just toss them on and hope they dont give you issues.

Front tires are taller than rear.
