Wow a 275 on the rear?
That's way to small on a 18x10. Go with a 295/35/18 KDW2 like TClark said.

TC...running a 315 width 18 inch out back will rub...Ive seen it in person several times. Im sure there are slight differences between one car and another, but generally 315's on 18's rub.
tons of people run a 315 width 17 inch out back with no problem. |

I had a buddy running 335 with no rubbing, not sure how. I know for a fact 295 wont rub, I have 295 kdw 2's and there is plenty of clearance. BFG was supposed to come out with a 305 and 315 in the kdw 2's. Don't know what become of that, but a 305 would be perfect in my eyes since 315 seems to rub sometimes and sometimes not. KDW 2's are probably the best priced tire you will find in a size that wide, and they grip quite well too.
