Just go look at the photos for 17x9 wheels on AM, if they have pics of them on the rear almost all of them are going to be 275s

18 x 9.5 w/ 275's in the rear
18 x 8.5 w/ 245's in the front still needs to come down about an inch to completely lose the 4x4

You will rub on the front some when making sharp turns, as I was told when I had purchased my the tires I had.
So I basically went with 255/45 - front and 275/45 - back

Sumitomo 315s are like 100$, that can't be more expensive than Nitto 275s.

They ride like a regular street tire just a little less stiff feeling in the back. Traction is great with stock gears, they would spin in 1st with the nitrous then bark and grab for traction in 2nd gear. For a daily driven car that needs more traction these are what i would use. I have been through 3 sets of them they are great tires. You can get 10-15k miles out of them depending on how you drive. Not bad in the rain at all untill the tread gets worn down like any other tire.
