Changing Rear Tires, Leaving Front Tires

Hey guys, my rear tires are bald at 7k (they made it longer than I thought they would lol). The fronts have 50% left, so I don't want to switch them just yet. So I am thinking about upping the width on the rears (staying with Pirellis too).

What size can I go up to without changing the fronts? I did a search, didn't find anything about this specific question. Please chime in.

P.S. I am running the stock 18's

Thanks

this, but if you change the stock front tires to 245, you can change the rear to 275, that would give more balance.
