I run 275x35x18 on my 18x9 and 295x35x18 on my 18x10 on my 93 Coupe.

I might step down to a 265x35x18 on the 18x9 the next time around for just a little more clearence.... only thing is it looks a little small on a 9" wheel.

The 275x35 on a 10" wheel is going to be too narrow unless the tire brand is known for going oversize compared to other brands.

you'll be fine running the 265 on your front rims. I'm running 275 35 18 on mine and 295 35 18 on the rears with the same setup as you. I would probaly consider going a little wider on the rear might look a little funny and you mys well take advantage of the size of the rim with a bigger tire for more needed traction.

I would go with that
