Many other tire options too
265/35 front and 285/35 rear
275/35 front and 285/35 rear

10.5 +15 is really not that great of an option, around -3 front camber is needed. Good for track, not street.

So what would be a good offset for the streets on the front end of the car? 15+ for the rear is fine right?

9.5 +15, is what you want. and you may need a slight amount more front camber than OEM spec. OEM specs suck anyhow -0.3 to -1.1 i believe but it shoud be -0.6 to -1.5 IMO


Pull up and offset calc < Google the bold, and you can see the difference between 10.5 +15 and 9.5 +15

If you do a lot of corner turning it will mmake you tires last longer, if you have nothing but straight roads like us who daily drive in Vegas , it will reduce your tire life by a few thousand miles. No big deal.

Ive was runnning around -2 on the street for a few years and still got around 30k out of my street fronts, then for the year before my car became a dedicated play toy i was running -2.8 up front and still got over 25k out of them.

Camber hurts a little, inproper toe will screw up the tires in a quickness.

Then keep the 245 up front and get a 265/40 for the rear.

No point of increasing the width stagger and making it understeer worse than stock.

I only have about -2.5, run a +15 10.5" (in the front) and use a 315. I do, however, run a lot more spring and bar than probably anyone on this forum. That said, it only rubs on occasion (did cut a tire down when the car got airborne).

A 275 should fit no problem with low -2 (or more camber) on the front I would think.

Didn't even rub on high grip concrete (and the car was rolly as s__t)
