18 x 12\" CCW\'s... what tires will fit up front?

I picked up a set of 18" CCW's to use on the street (I plan on selling my stock 2001 GTS wheels, so if anyone is interested let me know).

The rears are 13" wide, but the fronts are 12" wide. What would fit on there without rubbing? I'm thinking my only option may be 335's Pilots all the way around...

Thanks!

I have the same wheels and am running 315's up front. That's a lot of rubber on the front.

Re: 18 x 12

What kind of tires? Are your CCW's 17 or 18"

I couldn't find any 315's in the 18" size...

Pilot sports 18" from PartsRack.

You can run 335's all around although the rears can take 345 which I have run on the very same wheels.

If you run 335's in the front you cannot turn all the way to lock. They are OK for track, I don't think you will be happy with them on the street. They also magnify the way the car grabs ruts and road irregularities.

Looks like 315's for the front, then.

Tirerack has them for over $350 each. Does anyone sell them cheaper, or does anyone have a used set for sale?

Call Jon B at partsrack.com, 360-837-3937.
He has always beat tirerack and all others on Pilot pricing.
315's in the front are the hot set-up at Viper Days events in the faster classes.
