I would also go with 275's. The back should always stick out more than the front....

That's just the way the axles are setup, it'll do that w/ any size tires... Just saying that 275's all around would be better.

Screw the 275's all the way around. If you can afford it go 285 or 295 in back and go 255 or 265 in front. It will help your car to feel more nimble in the corners, and will look a lot better. I realize the advantage of being able to rotate all four tires, but it will hurt your performance a little bit.

Yeah, I went 245/275, but being able to rotate tires would be nice.
