i think i can do 255/40/18 square ... but the front might rub the fender just a little bit
255 was wide up front on the E9X, chassis, I'm unsure if that still applies to the F3X.

A 235 front, 255 rear setup is pretty balanced. Also look at 225 front; 10mm is not much of a difference, that tire size might be more common (less expensive). Same for the rear, also look at 265. I would say as long as you keep the fronts within 20-30mm of the rear, that you'll be fine. A setup like that will maintain some understeer.
