I will probably be going with Nitto's all around and would like to know what size would be best for the rear? I have decided to go with 245/45's up front.

You need to post the width of your rims.

If they are 9's, Nitto 275's will fit fine.(Im assuming that is the width of your Cobra's)
If they are 8's, 275's will hang over a little, but will still fit and are usable.

I have 10.5" on back with 315/35s. Nice stance if your wheel will let you do it.

I had 275's on the back of my 17 x 08, and they fit ok. But that is definitely the max you can go on a 8" wheel. 255's would probably look a little better.

Damn...That last word always throws me off. I keep reading sentences and stopping at the penultimate word (second to last word).

Since RC obviously has no clue of whats going on here... lets get this back to the subject

Prince, since your going with Nittos all around, are you considering getting the 555R's for the rear or just going for the 555's? I would suggest that you go ahead and get the 555R's if you wern't allready doing so. I've had mine for about 5-6 months now with about 20 runs at the track plus some fun on the streets and sitll have about 1/2 the thread left on them.

Thanks,
I would go with the 275's in the back, 255's up front. They definitely will fit with 9" rims!
