what wheels are you considering? we need to know your wheel size before we can suggest tire size.
personal preference - I would go with a 1-1.5" stagger, such as 9" wide fronts and 10-10.5" wide rears, and put 255-275s in the front with 285s-305s in the rear
I'm installing 20x9, 20x10s with 255 35s / 285 30s on Saturday. Need to keep your overall diameter under consideration - I'm upsizing from 19s so the sidewall has to shrink some.

I am very nervous about the tires I got - they were offered to me for 500$ and they are new /unmounted, so I decided to take a gamble
they are nitto NT555s, summer tire. I have heard mixed reviews from friends that use them.
I see you are in alberta - depending on what you're willing to spend on a tire .. I'd probably look into a ultra high performance all season tire : ). Michelin and Conti both make some that are rated very highly, but may not be in the sizing you want, you'll need to check it out. summer compounds suck in the cold!!
