Hi quick one for you.
I have a set of new wheels to go on:
Front 18x8.5 +40
Rear 18x9.5 +38
I will have adjustable coil overs installed before these go on.

My local tyre shop suggested the following sizes:
Front 245/35-18
Rear 285/30-18

I'm having massive issues finding decent rubber in the same brand let alone model that do both sizes. The only one I've found are federal 595rsr and I travel 1000km a week highway so they would wear out way too quickly.

I saw one thread the guy was running 245/35 all round. Is this less than ideal?
What size/s would be a better option? I don't really have much faith in the tyre places around here.

I plan on lowering the car enough to get rid of the wheel arch gap if that makes any difference.

Thanks, Karl.
