Stick with 245/40 285/35 combo, its the same overall diameter and looks great.... Heres some pics of my setup.

Go look at the tire specs on tirerack and look for the min/max/recommended rim widths and then try to pick a tire where the profile height (which is equal to the width * ratio) = 110 in the rear and 101 in the front to prevent your speedo from reading incorrectly. Keep the stagger even if you go higher or lower to prevent issues w/ VDC.
Or if you don't want to do the work, for a 9.5" rim, I think 275/40/18 is what you should get if you want to stick to specs (w/ a 255/40/18 front).
