yeah i don't know what i am going to do. i realy want to keep my car stock looking, just change motor and stuff. i thought using adapters would make it a little wider, but keep the stock look.
You could just go with 245 tires...and still use the stock rims.

275 in the rear are aggressive...its what I have...if you have 18" tires yes...other than that it will look dumb with the tire hanging over the rim

Yes. Ie: 245/55R15 the 245 is the width aspect, the 55 is the height, and 15 is the diameter of the rim.

No I did not say stock was 245. That was just an example. My stock tires were 225/60r16. Every model has a diferent stock size. Look at the sidwall of the tires on your car. But 245's or 255's are probably the widest you want on stock rims. I intend on going with 245's all around. This is so I can rotate my tires. If you go with say 245's front and 255's rear, you don't want to rotate the tires.
