235/40 front
255/35 rear

I'm wondering if 265/35 will work for the rears though. I'm worried the 255 will look stretched on a 9.5 rim since stock is 8.5 with a 255 and it looks good. Does anybody have any experience with 265 for the rear and this rim size and offset?
Depends on the tire, something aggressive like Star Spec or RS-3 will not look stretched. But something like a Yoko S-drive will. 265 should be fine but a little camber wouldn't hurt. Worst case you can roll the rears which is pretty easy on these cars.
