      Tire/wheel sizes for handling

      '71 Firebird lowered about 2 inches with Hotchkis suspension. I'm going to 18" wheels and tires around 27" tall. I'm looking for help on the width - front and back. What provides the best handling and street performance?

      Wide all the way around, perhaps 275/40/18?
      Not so wide but same all around, 255/45/18?
      Decent in front and wide in back, 245/45/18 and 285/40/18?

      Does a wide tire in front cause any handling problems? If so, how wide starts causing problems?

      What works for you?
