I have 18x9 and I went with a 245 in the front. It's a perfect fit to me, and I think the 275/35 wouldn't have don it. I had em mounted with a destroyed 275/35 and personally didn't like the way they fit the rim. So I went with a 245/40

Why get something so wide in front? Totally unecessary no possible reason to do that on RWD. The wider the tire you put on the front the more surface area contacting the road, the more unwanted pull you are going to have on potholes, bumps, etc. 245 is fine I have the same size rims with 245/40 front and 275/35 rear, 285 would be fine as well for rear.

285 fits in the rear and theres still room for more im goin wit 305 drs when i replace mine. 275 is a lil large for the front 265 would work great.
