Default 9" wide rim with 235 rubber??

Hey everyone. Debating to get either 245/40/18 or 235/40/18 for the front rims on my stang. Car is lowered 1 1/4ish in the front. Want to avoid rubbing but I am afraid 235's will be streched out too much on a 9" rim. Anyone have pics of this combo on 17x9 or 18x9 rim? Any horror/success stories with 9" rims on front of a foxbody? Im probably outta control going with an 18" rim...but I gotta give it a try Thx

there would be so much rim sticking out on the sides with a 235...that it would look well...*** to say the least.

9" wheels go best with 265-275 mm tires. 235 mm and even 245 mm is too small.

Thx 4 the help guys I am going to put 245/40/18's on the front and 255's on the rear. Anything wider and I am asking for trouble. Really hope they dont rub too much in the front.
