as an outsider.....wow...easy Z 2 8.......there was general sarcasm in Trust's first response but he didn't really slam you or anything...
If you ask for everyone's opinion, then be prepared to get someone's OPINION.
You have over-reacted... so please don't thats all....unnecessarily adds to none of us wanting to read this at all. AND...then no one wants to respond cause someone takes something the wrong way.....
I actually took his advice to heart...as I was looking at some 265/35 18s for some 9.5 and 10.5 rims I bought. I was gonna go cheap on tires...265 35 18 widest that manufacturer makes...NEXEN.. and I thought it might not be a big deal..
He was right...pay to play or go home...doing it cheap sometimes just looks that...CHEAP...
That was his opinion, and it helped me....so why can't you save yourself some adrenaline for drag racing, or RiceBashing....something worthwhile

Why would a NARROWER 245 in the front handle better?!?!! The original poster wanted it for drag racing weight savings. It's NOT going to help you for handling. The wider the rubber you can run, the more grip in the corners it will get.

I dont really care what you believe was intended as that doesn't change any facts. Mmk pumkin? Good thing you went with the 275's as they are actually going to help save your rim some if you curb check at all, since they aren't stretched to a tension point.
I got my BFG G-Force TA's on yesterday and they look wider than my nitto 555r's. I really like the way they look. I'll be getting the front 275/40/17's on soon.

At the Auto-x and Track Events, a lot of the vette guys will run 315's on all 4 corners.
