are you going to use a spacer in the rear? If not then I think the 245 and 275 would be good.

anywhere from 245(stretched) to 295(bulged) will fit, i would go with a 35 in front and a 35 or 30 in the rear, depending on how wide you go.

do you want staggered? 275/35 and 295/30 would bulge, but would be the MOST tire i would go for

no? 275/35 all around.

I guess it all depends on how low you are dropped too. What suspension are you going with? springs are coilovers? How low?

I don't know much about the tcs but I wouldn't think the same size would throw it off. Smaller OD in the rear would for sure. This isn't his wheels just a test fit. This is who the wheels belong too. Same setup but dropped on stance coilovers.
