Default Front tire size help

I need a little help with choosing a front tire for my 69 Camaro, I'm still running the factory subframe, 2" drop spindles, 18x8 wheels up front. The rears are 345/30/18s

A 245/40R18 would give you a 25.7" tire diameter, about 3/8" smaller than your 26.1" rears. A 255/40R18 would be virtually the same diameter. What tires are you running in the rear? Not all sizes are made for all tire designs.
