Default 275/35 or 275/40 on my 18's???

I'm a new 94 GT Mustang owner. Used to own a honda. Luckily my dad owns a 94 GT as well and has done a lot of maintenance and modifications. Check out my ride: http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/849611
My question is, right now I have 18x9" Speedware Cobra Wheels with 245/40/18's all around. Should I stick with 245/40's up front and just do 275/35 or /40's out back or should I do 275's all around? I would like to do 275's all around.
I have Eibach Pro-Kit's, so its a little lower. Will I run into fit issues with the bigger meats up front. I know the '03-04 Cobra's have 275's all around. Anyway, your own experiences would help.
Chris

i run 275/40ZR17's all the way around, and don't have any scrubbing problems up front at all -- don't know about your 18's (they're not that much bigger than 17's), but I don't think you should be getting any scrubbing problems (left-right-wise).

about your car -- i'm really diggin' that air intake setup you got (the filter stuck on the end of the MAF plastic housing). I've been trying to help my brother tune up his car, but we don't want to plunk down the stupid $160 or so for a MAC CAI or whatever, so could you tell me what kind of filter (part #, etc.) you've got there, as well as any other info about how it's on there, and I'd be much, much abliged!
