How about 225/40ZR18 on 8,5x18 wheels in front and 255/35ZR18 on 10x18 wheels in
rear? Its been done, and you dont have to modify anything! All this together
with 3" lowering!!

I have pics, if any are interested, just let me know.

I have sent out pics of this one before, it was blue and peach to refresh the
memory.
