Tire Size?

Been looking to buy some 18inch x 9.5 wheels for my car but the tire size i should get is confusing me. I was thinking 275/40 but i dont know if those are too big for the front. Also does anyone know of a good cheap place to buy tires online

Thanks

Nah, you're just the man Shaun. I agree with you. I also like the Yokohama ES100s from Discount Tire. Check them out online too.

Nittos are also pretty good/cheap. What I like about them is the "shoulder" on the tire is not as "square" as other tires. Kind of helps with clearance issues.
