BFG Drag Radial question

So since my truck is most likely going to be finished and drive-able for the first time in 5 years I am looking at selling my new 18" Bridgestone Potenza RE01r's to put some drag radials on my extra 18" black chrome Z06 wheels. My daily wheels are Camaro SS wheels with 285's all around.

Here is are my questions:
Size choices are 345/30/18 26.2" diameter
295/35/18 26.2" "
275/35/18 25.6" "

Which tires should I go with front and rear? I would really like the look of some 345's out back but it will be pushing it on a 10.5 rim, but they will be extras only used for cruising/racing nights.

Has anyone ever run 295's in front? I realize it would be probably be ridiculous to turn around but could it be done if you just wanted to go straight?

What would your choice be on all four? Please give me your opinion.

Re: BFG Drag Radial question

295/35/18 front and 345/30/18 is the only perfect match regarding tire diameter, if you
want to go that wide.

BFG Drag radials are the only dragradials that have both dimensions available.

It´s exactly the setup I just get shipped to me @CCW.

I have 11" wheels front and 13" wheel rear, though (I have modfied the rear frame),
but I know the 345´s will fit 10,5" wheels.
In fact, as they are drag radials, they do fit the 10,5" wheels pretty ok.
And you wouldn´t be the only one running them on that wheel dimension.
There are pics on this forum with exactly that setup.

Unfortunately I cannot comment on the drive-feeling, yet, but don´t really see any problems.

I have 305´s on my Corvette in front and 295´s on my Viper and don´t feel any downsides, beside when you have deeply rutted roades which wide tires love to follow more than smaller ones.
