Trying to run 18x9.5+14 up front on an s13 with oem Silvia fenders. I am aware that I will have to break out the BFH and go to work on the wheel wells but I am trying to run as much tire up front as possible (235/40 continental extreme contact DW). The car will not be super low as it still has to be functional and I'm willing to run as much as 4 degrees of camber up front if I can get it with slotted lower mounts and maxed camber plates. Coil overs are a custom ground control/Koni setup. What would be the optimal tire size and how beefy are the contis? Would 225/40 be a better option? Rears are 18x10+20 and I'm planning on 245/40 or 255/35, same Continentals. Fenders and susp arms will be SPL all around but I plan on a roll and mild pull. Thoughts on which size would be best?

I'd run 225/40 up front due to continental tires seem to have taller sidewalls comparable to Goodyear or Bridgestone that I used to run. My old set was 9.5" wide all around and I ran 225/40 upfront and 235/40 rear. 245/40 for your 10" wide rear is too beefy if you ask me.
If you insist to choose between the two given choices, I'd take 255/35 over 245/40
