Well it's about time to drop a good bit of money on a new set of tires. The wheels on the car are 18x9 in the front, and 18x10 in the back. The tires up front are 275/35/18, and the rear tires are 285/35/18. I'm looking to change that tires up a little bit. I want to give the car a little more of a classic muscle car stance, any recommendation on sizes that look good? A picture of the stance would help a lot as well in the decision making process.

Can you explain a little better what you mean by "classic muscle car stance"? Just tire size stagger, more rake, both, other?

If you mean a bigger stagger with a little more rake, you could go to a bit narrower tire in taller profile up front combined with a tiny bit more rear tire width. You might be able to use something like 245/40 up front with 285/40 out back, though I will not guarantee ABS happiness or that the load capacity of those front tires will be enough at the sticker-recommended inflation pressure. In any event, plan on the handling not being as good as what you now have (assuming that the new tires are comparable to what you now have, just in the different sizes).
