Hey guys looking to see if I can get some help in getting front wheel set up. I'm running 18x12 335-30-18 on rear but cant decide what to run up front. wondering what set up wheel and tire size and back space would I need. Running C5 disk breaks as well and DSE front suspension would 18x8 245/40/18 be right

Personally I would not go any smaller than a 275 on the front. You want the car to be balanced. I don't think a 245 would be enough tire in the front with that much tire in the rear

It'll push like a dumptruck with that big mismatch in tire sizes.
DSE frame? That Should let you run a decent sized wheel and tire.

I am building the same car. I am running 18's all around, 245 on 8's and 335 on 12's. I have SpeedTech front suspension on the factory subframe. I don't think the 1" wider 275 on the front will make much of a difference. I am building a street car, so tire clearance means more to me.
