Ok so I keep looking at tires and I am thinking about getting some summer specific tires. Right now I have all 4 corners with

TSW Valencia 18*9.5 40mm offset wheels/ Nitto Invo 275*40*18

I want to know if this will fit or if anyone has tried.

265/50ZR18 on the front with same size wheels. Maybe go to a 18*8 wheel.

My car is lowered on the front by 1 inch.

I would also like to know if I have 2 different diameters from rear tires and front tires if that is going to jack anything up or if I need to stay as close as possible.
Thanks!

OP, I'd go with a 18x9 front wheel with 255/40 tire and a 18x9.5 rear wheel with 275/40 tire. You don't want to make things too different or your car will look retarded.

Not only will it look jacked up but it will throw the abs light too. OP, I don't know about the wheel sizing but the 275/40-18 should be a nice fit on those wheels. And if you go down to a 265, do not get anything taller than a 265/40-18 or else the front tires will be taller than the back. Also, if you get 18x8's, you won't want to run much wider than a 245 for proper fit. Good luck!

I guess I should have thrown this part in there. I am not wanting to run the 265*50*18 front with 275*40*18 rear lol. The rear would get replaced with 295*45*18 that is why I want to know if the 265*50*18 will fit without rubbing.
