Default 10.5 rear rim, tire size to use?

I have been looking at either 17 x 9 and 17. 10.5 for the rear. Tirerack and discount tire both recommend 275/40/17 for both size rims. It seems odd to recommend the same width tire for rims 1.5" different in size.

What do most people use on the 10.5? (size and manufacturer)

I need some sizes to make the search easier.

Any help would be appreciated.

i would run 275's to 315's on the 17x10s and run 255 or 265 on the front if you planning on lowering it later

This is going to depend if you want to run a d/r, or not. The biggest size that I could find in BFG G-Force KDW was 285 for the rear. So I am running the same size rims with a 245/40/17 on the front and 285/45/17 on the rear in the BFG G-Force KDW's, I really like these tires and would recommond them to anyone
