275 is too narrow for a 10" wide rim out back. Go with a minimum of a 285/35/18 and do 295/35/18 if you can. The fronts are a good size though.

no, 275's will work. But i dont recomend it; as the above post says 285/295 is best for a 10" IF u had 9's in the back id go w/ 275

having the same size rims, going through 3 sets of back and 2 sets of front so far.... for the 18x10 a 295/35 is the perfect size, 285/35 will also work...for the 18x9 a 265/35 in my opinion along with saleen and porshe seeing as how their cars come stock with this setup would be the best... a 275/35 would work but your car would be going along with every dip, crack and imperfection in the road surface even worse than the 265/35
