18X9.5 +40 ON REAR OF FD 275 or 265 width
The setup on my FD:
front- 18x8.5 +38
rear 18x9.5 +40
I'm running a 235/40x18 in the front
Wanted to know if i should run a 275/35 or 265/35 in the rear? or is 275 to much?
where i live theres a lot of twisties and mountain driving.

Run a 235/40-18 in back as well.
That is the max recommended wheel width for most performance 235/30-18 tires so it will have great sidewall feel and not stretched beyond manufacturers recommended sizing.
That will keep the car balanced so its not an understeering pig in the twisties.

I'm running 18X9.5 +45 Enkei RPF1's with 275/35/18 Toyo R888's on all four corners.
I'm lowered on Tein coil-overs on stock fenders, pulled and rolled.
Would I recommend it? Ehhhh....not really.
These wheels are just loaners from my boss at work (awesome boss, right?)... Otherwise I wouldn't normally run something so wide up front.
I can turn fully, but I do hear the tire lightly scrape against the fender liner plastic a little bit sometimes. The fender liners are admittedly a little beat up and the clip/mounting points had to be cut when I had the fenders rolled which is probably why/when it scrapes. Otherwise, it might actually be just fine.
I have a friend who ran 285/35's on his LS1-FD on stock fenders and never scrubbed but he was at stock ride height.
If you are lowered at all, be warned.
On stock fenders, lowered...I wouldn't recommend more than 255/35/18 personally. Just for the sake of it.
255/35/18 on a 9.5" rim is a perfect fitment, btw. The 275/35's do balloon a little bit.
