305/30/18 as front tyres?

[oxam]

Found really cheap Kumho V70A in 305/30/18 and I am wondering if they would fit in the front? They are ok on 10j rims but would they rub anywhere?

Which wheels are you using?
You gotta consider the wheel's offset.
Not sure if this help but I have bigger tyres than that on the front of my GenII.

I am using the oem 10x18 chrome ones...might have to put spacers?

That's a lot of oversize for stock wheels.
They'd fit on mine but I'm using a custom set of wheels, 11" wide with 8.25" offset.
One of the other membes might chime in here with their experience of fitting oversized tyres.
If you decide to get them and they don't fit, give me a call.

do you talk about different brand tires front and rear - bad idea.

nope, I was talking about 305 in the front and 335 in the back, both Kumho v70a. the
305's shall be ok on 10J, not ideal but doable. I guess I will get them anyway and see how I go forward. Ideally shall get 20in wheels but love the look of the oem's and I cannot find any sticky rubber in 335/30/20
