Default what tires/what size?

I'm currently running Kumho Ecsta MX's (245/40/18 up front and 275/40/18 rear) on Saleen 18x9 rims all around. This car is driven a decent amount during the summer, but I need something that will hook good. Just seeing what tires you guys would recommend/whats the biggest i could go outback without having problems on a 18x9 rim. thanks guys

275 is as big as you should use on a 9inch wide rim. I would put wider tires up front, as a 245 width tire on a 9inch wide rim looks bad IMO...the tire is stretched too much in other words.
