265/35/18 Pilot Sports on the front and 295/35/18 on rear, with very low ride height without any clearance problem and no problems with ABS & TCS.
You want the rear tires to be approx 5% taller than the front.

Thanks for all the replies... I'm going to talk to John at CCW about going with the 18x10 or 18x9.5 with the 275/35 Kumho MXs... and 18x11 in the rear with 295s :cheers:
