You looking for same size all around? Or bigger in the back. i have 265/35 rear and 255/35 front with a 1.75" drop. They fit great. You could go 275 out back if you wanted a little more.

3" exhaust my give you some issues. Which wheels do you have and whats the backspace. I know they will clear with 2.5" pipes, a 3" pipe would lose you 1/4" of clearance so it might still work. You could do the 245/40 all around, but the tire looks a bit stretched on the wheel.

I was gonna say bridgestone S-03. they should be going at a good price too since bridgestone came out with a new line of tires.

IMO that's the best street tire available and the perfect size.
