Default What size rear tire?17/18" combo

I have 275/40/17 nitto 555 in the front and was wondering what an ideal size

for the rear would be? The rear tire I currently have is a 295/45/18 and it's

too tall! would a 285/35/18 or 295/35/18 work?

The wheel in the rear is a 10.5..I think i'll have to look for a 295 or higher I think the 285 will look to narrow on the wheels

295s work all day. 295 on 10.5" below....pay attention to offset too. Sticky will provide all the info you need.
