Default Will these tire sizes work?

I am about a week from buying a set of brand new wheels (18'' Shelby torque thrust m) and i was also going to get some BFG KDW2 tires for them. I am going to run 18x10 in the rear and 18x9 in the front.

Tire rack suggests that I run 285/40-18 rear and 255/45-18. I know that this is recommended because because you don't have to recalibrate the speedo (which I dont mind doing)

I was wondering if i could run 295/35-18 rear and 245/45-18 tires. I wanted to go bigger in the rear but still use the KDW2's. has anyone run this tire size on their cars?

stick with 255/45 front.....the rear you can play around a go bigger if you want. 35 series arent the greatest really IMO but for the KDW2 that is your best rear option

They are great tires and you will not regret them
