anyone know if 275/40/18 tires will fit my wheels, I jus got 4 18x9.5 inch wheels. will 275/40/18 be too big for the front? like rubbing issues or anything? or should I be fine with 275/40/18 tires on all 4 wheels?

Can you post some pics when u get those new wheels on? Would like to put the same wheels on a 95 admiral blue. Looking forward to see how the tire size looks. Where did you get the rims?

Not positve,but I think going with 275/35/18 would be better to compensate for going from17's to 18's.

If you want to maintain overall diameter and speedo accuracy, go for 285/35-18.
