Default Will these work?

I dont plan on driving the car in the rain much and the cars pretty loud to begin with so road noise from the tires shouldnt be a problem. My only concern is that the fronts are going to look streched because the biggest 17" size you can get in this type of tire is a 255/40/17.. I have 17x9.5's in the front and 18x10's in the rear tt2's. the tires i am looking at are 255/40ZR17 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 for the front,, and 295/35ZR18 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 for the rear. Does anyone have any suggestions for a different tire that will grip as well as these but come in 275's on a 17" rim and 295's or 305's in an 18?

thanks,
michael

The 255's are going to look odd on a 9.5" wide wheel. . . .

Why not the Good Year GSD3, which you can get in a 275/40ZR17 and a 295/35ZR18??
