Default Tire blowout!

Well I was driving today and the passenger side front tire blewout. Now I need to get a new tire. I'm going to put 2 new meats on the back. Does anyone know what the biggest size that can go a my stock rims in the rear?

275's are about as big and safe as you can go...unless you just PONY up for some new wheel and tire combo, ebay has great deals

I bought this tire 2 years ago and I'm still running them on the front. Before I got my new rims I was running them on the back as well. They aren't the best for launching or racing but I did cut a couple of 1.9 60's on them with stock suspension.

Since I'm going to get taller tires in the back, do I need to get it tuned since the speedo will be off? Also, is it fine that I have the stock size tires up front?
