Please Help!!! Question on new tires.

If you do want bigger tires for the fronts I'm pretty sure a 255/40 would give you the same increase over stock in the front that you with the rears.

If you do want bigger tires for the fronts I'm pretty sure a 255/40 would give you the same increase over stock in the front that you with the rears. About a 4mm difference between the two. Not a lot of all season options at that size but lots of summer tires available. I'm 90% sure you will rub the front tabs with those tires. I have 245/40 (wanted 255 but not available in the tire I wanted) lowered on H&R and I rub going over big dips at speed. I also have 285/35 in the rears and don't have the problems you describe.

That being said I agree that this seems like a bigger issue than the tires.
