Check out Nitto Invos, they have 275/25 now. Honestly, if it was up to me... I would go with 235/30 & 275/25 Nitto Invos. 235/30/20 are "spec'd" for "8.5" and 275/25/20 are "spec'd" for "10." Both of these tires theoretically are going to be stretched but keep in mind that your front is 9.5" and rears are 11" which should provide the perfect stretch front and rear.

That makes sense to me. lol

damn i never knew tires would be this complicated>>>then again its my fault for wanting the wheels that i wanted. But Mark was running his coilovers pretty low from what ive seen and id only be running DF210s. I think i seen flipsides white GS with the a similar setup and he went 245-35 and 275-30 with rolled fenders

One of my pet peeves is someone flipping parts for a profit.....but maybe it's just me.....
Just so you know, I did not make a profit on the rims. I sold them at the amount I paid for them. i didnt want to lose any money on the rims, since I decided to not use them.
