Hello Guys:

What is the largest tire size (millimeters or inches) in height and width can I use with and 18" wheel on my 1972 fleetside chevy if I lowered it 2.5 inches in the front and 3 inches in the rear. I like the look of a 285/50 R18 ( 11.2' wide and 29.2" tall) for the rear and a 255/55 R18 (10" wide and 29" tall) for the front.

I sure don't want my tires to scrub

Thanks Guys
