First off, what rear tire pressure are you guys running? I have 315s on the back with 3.73 gears and I still spin half way through second with 270rwhp. It annoys the crap out of me. I'm running around 33psi on Falken Azenis RT-615 315/30/18s.
Now, the main reason for the thread.
What size fronts are you guys with 18" 315s using? I have 315/30/18s on the rear 18x10s.
Currently have 275/35/18s on the front 18x9's that need replacing. I don't need something that wide on a daily driver so I'm thinking of dropping to at least 265s.
What would be a good match in sidewall height? Using a tire calculator it looks like a 0.07 difference between 315/30/18 and 265/35/18. Not sure if I want to get another pair of tires with a skinny sidewall though. Fender gap already doesn't look great as shown in the pics below.
I know someone with a couple 245/40/18s. How would these look on a 9" wheel? I don't autocross so I don't need anything crazy up front.
This is how it looks now. Already lowered ~1.5" with Steeda Sports.

Should I maybe step up to a higher sidewall front and eventually higher sidewall rears? The rears just went on not long ago so it'll be a while before I replace those unless I sell/trade. Might look kind of funny with the lower profile in the rear and higher sidewall in the front temporarily. I get fender-rub on the rear as it is. Need to get them rolled.
Gap doesn't look as bad from another angle besides dead on as shown above.
