Default Need advice for tire size.

So I recently I've purchased a set of the touring rims 18x8 all around.
I purchased and mounted 265/35 for the rears and they fit and look great.

So my problem is, I'm not sure what size to run in the front for the sidewall not to look out of place.

What would be a good tire to run for the fronts with the 265/35 in the rear?

265/35 would be my suggestion, but some car do flip with a non stagger in height. Those tires also also way to wide for your wheels.

How about same size for the front. Go for square set up.

What do you mean sidewall out of place? Like wheel gap? You won't get rid of that if that's what you're talking about. Try 245/45 or 245/40. Either is going to leave massive gap though.

Just cause of the 8.0 width all around I would bump the rears down to 255 too but that's just me. Seems like too thin a wheel to go 265 but that's my opinion.

265/35 x18:
The wheel is 8.0 inches wide. The tire is 10.43 inches wide.
You have decreased rear axle ground clearance by 17.5mm.
Actual speed 100.0 MPH. Speedometer will read 105.45 MPH.
Have you thought this through?
