I like a little more side wall for less road feedback. I say go 265! I have 20's but I choose 265's for my 20x9's and couldnt be happier! If you can go wider in the rear also!

Are they for a GT500? If so, 275/35/18s will look way too small on the rear. The stock tires are 27" tall. The 275 is probably almost 1.5" shorter. I would go with at least 305/35s. What brand tires are you looking at?

265's with 9" are great, its the rears I would go wider, at least 285/40 or 295/35
