215/40/18 front, 245/35/18 rear. 255 is too wide for the rear, manufacturer minimum recommended wheel width is 8.5".

255 on a 8.5 will be pinched a little! 245 will sit better.

Sidewall is measured as a ratio, not a fixed number. The tires listed are very close to being identical in overall diameter.

my buddy has 255 on his AP2 with V1 wheels. Its low and used to rub. I cuthis bumper tabs and relocated them. He rolled his fenders, I didnt want the liability. Came out good. I think the 245s sit better on the wheels. the 255 stick out too much, looks bad
