No problem with the front but finding a tire larger than 295/35r18 has been a problem. The tires I removed from the 17" wheels were 315/35/r17 and worked great. I was told that the worlds worst tire is made by Falkin. Don't know but I sure prefer Michelin. The 335/35/r18 Michelin will rub without modifications to the rear suspension. I just wish to drive on the street so this is not a good option for me. The Nitto tires I was told by Nitto will not hold up for daily driving as they are drag/street radials. As they heat up the tread is removed rapidly. Don't need that headache.

The new 3 piece 18x12 wheels or a set of 18x11 wheels like the 17"ers you removed?
For tires try BFG Rivals. You can only get them from Tirerack....
