I ran 255/40 255/45 and 265/40. I preferred the 255/45 best of all. Best blend of performance and ride comfort. The 265/40 bulged a little too much and the 255/40 was a little stiffer and shorter sidewall than stock.

There is a good chance it will rub since it is over an inch taller than stock. Horrible size to run. Go with 245/40/18 instead in the front

Sorry. I thought you were talking about the rear tires only. I ran 235's and 245/40 in the front. I am dropped on Tanabe's and there is no rubbing.
