Default Front rim tire size options

Obviously, there are only 2-3 options if you want to stay stock size on the front. At least all I can find is Goodyear, ps2. Several makers have a back tire that matches stock size.
All of you who are running different front sizes, what are you running, tire and size? I've already lowered to stock bolts, and am hoping to stay as close as possible to stock in size.

so?

My car is lowered on DRM coil overs, within spec and I use a 275/35/18 on IForged Classic wheels up front and it fits just right. There is literally less than a cm of clearance when the wheels are turned. It's never rubbed ever and I just noticed the other day how close it was. Keep in mind that I drive on twisty roads a lot that put stress on the suspension and I don't drive like a grandmother and the tires have never rubbed. If you're going to a bigger wheel, that's probably the tallest tire you'd want to get up front.. Oh yeah.. they're Nitto Invos.

Hope that helps.

thanks, I should have been more clear, I have stock rims and don't want to change size. Curious what size rubber folks are running on stock rims.
