Yep 275/35/18 is ideal. 285/35/18 would look good to on the back. no spacers need for those wheels either

You think you could get away with a 295/35/18 in the rear? I want to do this but don't wanna kill myself. The reccomended wheel size in 10"-12", it's only 1/2" smaller

295's require a 10" wide wheel minimum . . . . your life and other's ride on those tires, so I'd heed a tire makers recommendation anyday.

9.5" wheel = 275's or 285's
