Default Need help with tire size for 10.5 rim on lowered car

I need to know what size tire I can run on my car. I ordered a set of rims that are 17x9.5 and 17x10.5. Have a brand new set of tires for the front 275/40/17 but need to buy a set for the rear. My car is lowered on eibach sportlines. I want to know what size tire I can run for the rear that wont cause any issues that I can bolt up and go. Dont really want to cut/beat on the car. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

well it all depends on your offset/backspacing but it should fit with no issue

what are your front tires? its better to keep the same tread pattern.

certain 315/35 tires run narrower than others (like Nitto's). ideally you would put a 315 on a 11" rim though.

like said above, it depends on you offset and the suspension whether or not you will need to BFH or roll the fenders

what's the big deal about rolling your fenders and beating in the inner wheel wells?

it's not hard to do and it's not like you would be hurting resale or anything.
