you can run 245 and 275 in the rears with the right offsets

I think OP is talking about putting those tires on the stock wheels, so the offset is a given. I know 275s will fit on the rears, and I've heard about people running 245s in the front (but have yet to see it myself).

245 will fit, so I've read. You might even be able to fit 255s though.

Dont qoute me on this, bt you "upset" the balance or geomtry of the car, apparantly, with larger fronts, you could possible have some tracking issues, I would speak to a professional tire shop. When I shopped for the 19's I just increased the size of the rears.

I have installed P-Zero's on my Stock 18" wheels for Fast Lap use. Went 245.40F and 265.35R and found them tracking very neutral without any abnormal pull or push coming from the front end at any speed both on and off the track. Nice set up

I would think going to a 255F might be a bit too much

I believe a 255/35 might fit up front? I believe "shaker" is running the 255 T1R up front.

I will look into it in the morning...
