What is the biggest size tires I should run?

Good morning guys, I am getting a heck of a deal on some tires from where I work.

I have noticed the 225's in the front are ridiculously tiny. And I feel steering at higher-speeds gets more sensitive.

So I am fishing for opinions here. I have a lowered 03 G35 Coupe (Brembo Package, 18's)
It is lowered about as far as it will go without wiping out my bottom end. (Tein Street Basis Z Coilovers)

I am thinking about ordering 2 245x40r18's and put them on the front, If they don't work I will just rotate them to the rear and order smaller tires for the front. Do you all know about what the best (non-factory) tire setup is?

03G35C6MT, "Welcome to the G35 Forums!"

My first response would be to tell you the 245s will work on all four corners! Since you're slammed I'm not 100% sure? You could put the 245s on, since you have adjustable coil overs adjust the height to clear whatever areas that might rub...if in fact they do! The OEM front and rear rims are different, not made for rotation!

The 18's front a rear rims are the same sizes and offset (18x8 et30)
They do have front and rear stamped on them, but the wheels are identical
