I'd just do 275s all around so you can rotate IMO

I was about to say the same thing. I wouldnt do that unless the front wheels were smaller IMO.

i run 18x9.5 C5 Z06 on all fours. I am running a 275/35/18 all around as well. I plan to put 285 for the rear. I think thats the biggest you can go.

I agree with everyone else. I ran 255's on a 17x9.5 and they looked horrible too narrow
