I plan on using 245/40 tires in the front, but am looking for input on the rear tires. I'm thinking 275/40, but want to make sure that an ~11" wide rear tire won't cause issues. The car is a daily driver that is never tracked, but I do like the more aggressive stance the wider tire would give.

Is there any reason that I'd be better off with a 255 or 265 series tire?
275 should be fine on a 9.5 inch rim. You might want to go 35 on the AR tho.
