I'm completely bald, please help...

My 18" base rims have some smooth tires on them at the moment. Can someone recommend me the biggest tire size I can put on these base rims? Please don't

Please don't advise me to look at TireRack because I've done that already. I've tried using calculators as well but I simply don't know what I'm looking at.

I've noticed people advise getting 45 for the front wheels and 40 for the rear (side wall height), why would the front be taller than the back?
Can someone recommend some decent tires for SoCal weather (no snow, barely any rain).

Someone told me "You can go up to a 235/40 or 235/45 front and a 255/40 or 265/40 rear" but 235 seems small for the front. Can't I go 245 on the front and 265 on the back?

Thanks
