Default What tire sizes would you get?

I have 4 18x9"s and was wondering what tire sizes you guys recommend? I was thinking 275/35 up front and 285/35 out back. I would like a slight racked look and as big of a tire out back as I can fit safely. I would like to widen the back two an 1" so I can put a 295 or 305 out back but I think that will be later on.

dunno if u've looked at the sticky but if not then peruse it.
I ran 275/35s up front and 285/35 out back when i had 18x9.5in Y2Ks on my SS. You could probably fit a 295 out back but its probably not recommended
kinda like doing 315/35 17s on 9 or 9.5 wide in rims.
hope that helps

Run four 275/35ZR17 tires, and then be able to rotate, and get the most life out of your tires.
