Stock '96 933 Tire Upgrade Sizes

I have larger 18" wheels, has anyone run a 285/30 on the back and 225/40 on the front? The back is one I am worried about...

Assuming n/b, It depends on the width and o/s of the wheels, in the back 10" +65mm o/s wheels provide clearance for 285/30 tires.

Thing is IMHO 225/40 is too narrow a front for that rear, I would rather see 235 or 245

I have 10.5 x 18 on the back. yeah, the fronts are smaller than what I am running now proportionally speaking (225/40 and 265/25)

But the price is right
