no one makes a 265
you can either go with a 275 40 17 or a 245 40 17, the latter will me more inexpensive.
For rears, there are actually a decent ammount of choices, I ran a BF Goodrich T/A KD's 315/35/17, and I bought the car with Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3's on them (by far one of the best tires I've ever tried), but there are other brands available as well.
If you want to get an idea, you can look them up on Tirerack.com

yea i'd say go 275 up front or 245 will fit and 315 out back. sumitomo's arent to bad, if you like doing burnouts and never take your car to the track then thats the tire for you. i want some of those BF Goodrich T/A KD's but they are too much $$$

17x9...275/40/17. 17x10.5...315/35/17. i would go with some nitto tires. they rock. mine hook pretty good and they are just the nt555's. not even drag radials. so i would just get some nitto nt555's all around. then get some prokits or something from cj pony parts(because they are made by eibach and are only $170) so you dont need to get c/c plates. and your car will look good. i would get some black fr500's if i were you. they would look good with your car and all the black accents you have.

I think the Nitto are great tires and Ive used them on Vettes becuase theyre definitely sticky when hot...
I will look at the fr500s...but definitely black with polished alum rims...
Thanks!
