The 285/35/18 is only 25.9 inches in diameter.
They look too small on a B body imo.

I haven't found too many larger sizes for these tires.
It looks like the best bet would be either the:
BFG Rival 295/35/18 = 26.1 inch diameter
Falken 295/40/18 = 27.2 inch diameter

The Nittos come in 295/45/18 but didn't test well.

All thing being equal, for handling is a square setup is better than staggered?
Thoughts on if a 295/40/18 would fit on the front of a b body?



The Nitto 295 probably didn't test well because it was as wide as every other brands 265. Dont buy Nittos.

I would say that a square set-up would be superior. F1 aside, most truly extreme classes end up with square set-ups, as do most ov the really fast cars (actually fast cars, not just hyped ones) i've read about. Staggered i think is done either for the look/stance, or because most cars just have less space up front.

Never owned a pre-71 B-body, but again from what i've seen, a 285-295 will fit up front. You may want the shorter tire though, height/diameter is a space-eater just as much as width. I've seen 285/50 and 295/50 (equivalents) up front on a 68-70 B, and thats on a 15" rim, where backspace would be absolutely crucial. On an 18" rim you get quite a bit more leeway, on an E-body anyways. Cant see it being different. You may have to cut/bend some sheetmetal, or other mods to make it work, but the space is there.
