275's on a 10.5 inch rear rim?

sorry i should have said that i have 9's up front and 10.5's out back

245 just look too small to me...i have them on my car now and the look like they are barley big enough to hold a seal

Just do a..
265x35x18 front
305x35x18 rear
or if you want a little wider rears go with a 315x35x18 ( they should have them that size)

IMO a 275x35 up front would extend past the wheel well on an SN95. 265x35 is just perfect.

I personally have run two different sizes on both front and back, now I have 245 40 18 front, 275 35 18 back, I had 275 35 18 front and 315 30 18 rear, front was too wide stuck out a good 1/2 inch past fender, I liked the rear but rubbed on the outside lip; I had to bend the lip up. I like the way my setup looks right now, But I will be changing the rear to 305 35 18 next time. The 245 in the front fit perfectly just inside the fender.

FWIW, I have 255/45's up front on my 17x9's, and they look too narrow. I might run 275's next time. Out back, with those 10.5's, I would run at least a 285 or so. Shoot, I run 315's on my x9 and I think it looks real nice, probably not very effective, but that's why I'm building my rear suspension, lol.

I have 255/45/17s on my 8 inch wheels, and they look perfect. So I could not even imagine 245s on your front wheels (that's crazy).

Based on my wheel tire combo, you would get about the same look with 285s (presuming they fit).
