275/40ZR17 up front and 275/35ZR18 out back.

Both tires will wind up being the exact same size as stock, so your speedo won't be messed up.

I would use a 295/35/18 in the rear.........a 275/35 will look too small in my opinion.

295/35ZR18 tires will NOT fit on a 9.5" wide rim per the manufacturer's recommendations.

I am running 275/35ZR18 on my 18" x 9.5" wheels.
