Default 305 series Tires
If I ran a 305 series or bigger tire on the rear, what size would I want to run in the front to keep it set-up correctly?

Depending on how much power you're putting down I'd go with a 275/285

I understand that 285 is the most common ran on high powered s2000s. I was just starting to think, "What if".

I meant run a 275 or 285 F with a 305R, it's going to take a good deal of fender work to fit them in though. I'd say go for it and if your balance went too much toward oversteer, narrow the front to a 255/265

I have ASM fenders. I could run a 255 easy on the front. Run a 255 front and get overfenders with 305/35/17 rears?

We mounted rear tires on a Cobra at my job the other day- 275/40/17 on the front and 315/35/17 on the rear. Not too certain about us, but you would need retardedly high offsets to accomplish that.

18x11.5 +60-65 305/30/18 with rear fender flares would be

too high of an offset may not clear the inside of the car
