275/35/18 on all 4 with 18x9.5" rims. if i had a 18x10" rear rim i would have gone to a 295 but no bigger or else they stick out of the wheel well. 275 all around looks nice.

275/35/18 all around if they are all 9.5" rims, if the rears are 10.5" run 295/35/18
please do not run 245s on a 9.5" rim

I am running 18x10 TTII with 275/35 on the front and 295/35 on the rear. I did have a slight rub on the passenger side, but only when I had four adults in the car. I rolled the lips and nothing rubs now. On an 18x9, the same size tire will actually be slightly taller and narrower than on an 18x10, so you might not need to roll.

I've got 18x9.5 chrome C5 Z06 rims and I'm also running 275/35/18 all the way around. Looks good. I JUST bought General Excaim UHP tires from the TireRack last month for like $168 each and if you buy 4 they'll send you a $50 Visa gift card. They got GREAT reveiws, so I gave them a shot and I'm VERY happy with them so far!
