265 or 275? opinions..

I will be purchasing a set of tire's I am now currently running 235/40/18 in the front and 265/35/18 in the rear, I was wondering would it be good to go 275 in the rear or keep it at 265? My offsets ar 45 all around so rubbing wont be a problem.

I had 275 with a 43 offset in the rear and it rubbed just a little not too much.I would get the 275's it's not that much of a problem with rubbing issues.

I ran 275/40-17 out back on 17x10 +43 Fikses which I sold, and didn't have any issues. You could go either way, but seriously, how much of a difference is 10mm going to make?

Handling wise, 265 in rear already give me more grip at the back and make the car feels more understeer. I'd keep 265 at the back myself. But, I ain't got that big power.

With 275, you get more weight, taller tire, and not much more benefit than 265?
