Why did you go square when you have staggered wheels?

235/40/18s on 9.5 is a stretch and don't look good. Take it off and use it for spares and get yourself 265/35 or 275/35 (preferred).

Before that, show us some pics!

I thought you said you're running 235/40/18s all-round.

Stick with 235/40/18sin the front.
