On the fronts I'm running a 255/45/18 (9" wheel) with 4.5" BS. There is a minor issue with rubbing the frame rail on the passenger side at full lock.
I was told I could run 275s on the front but decided I didn't want to go that large.

This information right here is pretty much right on the money. With that front tire though, I think I would have suggested an 8" wide wheel to go with that 255 so the side wall bulge would better match the 10" wheel on the back with the 305. Nitto makes a killer street drag radial in 305/40/18 and 305/35/20. FYI. We sell Nitto, and Rushforth Wheels in all of the sizes that would fit your car if you are interested. Let me know if I can help with these, or any of our brands. 866-694-5940.
