normandie.why would u wanna go wider tho?

i think it would look more sportier hehe and only if it safe and ok to use a wider tires u know. cuz i've seen those cars with a wider rear tires, it's just looks nice. so, since i can put 265/35 in rear, do i have to go wider in the front, like 245? or i dont have to.

You can go wider on rear & front or just rear. Watch clearance to the strut on the front.
