on 9" you want to go at least 275 and up.. or it wouldn't look right. for 10" do at least 315

The wider the tire you put up front, the more it will track (follow imperfections in the road, you'll feel like the car is trying to steer itself). I put a 265 up front, some people rub with 275s, but not everyone.

Shorter sidewall = more responsive handling.

265/285 looks perfect in my opinion... The definitely don't look too small on 18x9/10"s. Nittos do run a little large though so other brands could look too small I imagine. I would go any wider unless I supercharged and was going to run 315 DRs....

i have 265s up front and they look great on a 9" wide wheel, i think 275s would rub up front
heres my car 265s/18x9s all around

I wouldn't go any smaller than a 265's on a 9" rim up front.

I have 265's and 295's here and it think it looks perfect. Pics in sig......

Nitto's run SMALL. Their 315's are noticeably smaller than say, a 315 BFG drag radial......which are gigantic.

My 295 Yokohama AVS Sports are a PERFECT match to a 10" rim.

I put Kuhmo Ecsta MX 275/35/18 front and 295/35/18 rear on 18x9 and 18x10.

I think they look great and will look better after my new springs go on to lower the car a little. I have to admit the car follows every track in the road, but they are still brand new and will definitely loosen up a little. As it stands right now, the tires don't rub at all.

If I were to do it again, I'd probably go with the 265's front and stick with the 295's rear

I agree with this. I have 265/35 ZR18 and 295/35 ZR18 and they look really good. My rims are 18x9 F, and 18x10 R, I have Pirelli PZero's on it but they're just way to expensive to keep putting on.
