If you have a helmet put it on or get good at ducking insults.

A knowledgeable tire guy should be able to help you out. Your problem is going to be one of aspect ratios. That being said, you'll have to make sure that the height of the tires in the front is the same as the height (how tall) of the tires in the rear so you don't mess up the ABS.

I have 285/35/18 NT05 and 345/30/19 NT05R on my supercharged GS and I like the looks and the performance of it. The front/rear ratio is very close to stock so it should not give you any issue. I used to have 275/35/18 on the front before without issue but some people does.
I chose 285/35/18 NT05 because it match the thread design of the NT05R and it fit great on 18x10 wheels.

I really like that setup I have similar i have the same wheels in 18x10 in the front and 19x12 in the rear, im just going to use these wheels till I can get my hands on some welds to go smaller in the front for weight etc. How do those hook and drive at high speeds? Thanks!

The NT05R hooks great for my power level (~550whp). I only got up to ~120mph and it is very stable like cruising at 80.
