well hell, ask me then..lol. mine has 18x9 on front. i have 255 35 18. they will barely rub on a tight turn. im lower 2in. i have 285 in the back. they clear the quads by an inch and scrub none. 295 would fit the back, but not the front. i wont get bigger than 265 for the front. my rear is a 10inch.

well the notch i just bought has 275s in the front and they barely rub, so i'm guessing 295s will rub like crazy.

27535 will look better all around. it will not scrub bad at all. just dont turn as hard as the wheel will go. they might just barely touch the inner well but just barely when you turn the wheel sharp as it will turn. the 265 will not look as good on the back. and youre wheel will stick out past the tire some, leaving it vulnerable to curb rash.

that is the tire size that Saleen recommends for there wheels...im hoping it would do what u descirbed, i might change my mind about the tire size and staggar the front and back, a wide tire on the front will catch every pot hole and crack...so i've been told!
