Default Whats the widest I can go?

I have a 2003 touring 6speed - currently back tires are 245/45/18 on stock rims and front are 225/45/18 and one is 245/45/18(whoever put the tires on the car, massively screwed up before I bought it) so with the fact that there are 2 different sizes on the front, the dealer is paying for tires for free! So I want the widest I can get? Will 275 fit on stock rims for a touring 03?

Seems like you have one improper tire on the car. And the dealer is going to give you 4 new tires? And allow you to choose sizes?

Yep. I bought the car this way, didn't think to match up both sides -_-. But, new tires is always a plus. So what is the widest I can go?

Stick with OEM size. Besides the dealer is not going to give you odd tires, then have you return and say VDC is jacked up.

245/40 front and 245/45 rear is a nice set-up.

245 as everyone suggested only because you are sticking with your stockers. at least your getting fresh tires.
