I just bought chrome 10th anniversary wheels from oe with fronts being 17x9 and rears are 17x10... right now i have 17x8s in the front with 245/45 and 17x10.5 on the rear with 315/35s... what sizes do people think i should go with on the new wheels? will a 275/40 work on the 10s in the rear? 275 has a width of 10.83 inches... and stick with 245/45 on the 9s in the front? opinions please!!
I wanna order the new tires asap

That'd work great. You could squeeze on 315's again if wanted, but the 275's will have less bulge. Plenty of guys run 335's on a 10.5, so 315 on the 10 is also possible. Just depends on what rear look/stance you like.

Your tire heights will be good with those sizes - for the rear it would be 25.66" tire height and 10.83 " wide, fronts would be 25.68 tire height, with 9.65" wide -

The problem, well it is a problem for me because I don't like the way it looks, is a 275 tires is a lil' bit stretched on a 10" rim- I would say the best looking is a 305 or 295 on a 10" rim, but you really cant find too much for 17"-

Try a 285/40 for the rear- 25.98 high and 11.22 wide- and there is way more of a selection available on Tire rack.

I think i am going to go with 285/40 in the rear(nitto 555) and 255/45 in the front (nitto 555).. those sizes are little more pricey then i wanted to spend but i dont wanna take the chance of a stretched look
