A Marsh

I purchased 18x9.5 fronts and 18x10.5 rears for my 03 Z and am now trying to decide on tires. Both fronts and rears have 58 mm offset.

I'm keeping the stock size of 295/35-18 on the rear.

I'm torn between 265/35-18 and 275/35-18 on the front.

265/35-18 and the stock 265/40-17 are virtually the same height, so stagger is kept correct.

A lot of people put 275/40-17s of stock Z06 wheels and don't have any AH problems. 275/35-18 are slightly shorter, so I wouldn't anticipate any problems in that regard.

The new front wheels have 4mm more offset than the stock wheels. If I get 265s, they'll set in the wheel well a bit more, about 1/8 inch. 275s will stick out an additional 1mm, pretty much negligible.

The side walls of the 265s will be about 1/2 shorter than the stock 265/35-17s, but won't be bulged or stretched.

Additionally, I'm pretty sure I'll either be getting Nitto Invo or Continental Extreme Contact DW tires.

1. Will 275s look bulged on 9.5" wheels?

2. Will the shorter sidewalls of the 265s make the wheels look too tall compared to the rears?

Photos of cars with 18s front and rear and these tire sizes would be appreciated.
