You'll want to go with 40 aspect ratio. Be warned however, to fit a 274/40 on the rear you want will be extremely difficult without overfenders. I have 255/40 with -3.4 degrees of camber, rolled fenders, and relocated tabs and I still rub if I drive over a good sized dip or take a sharp turn at speed.

In that case then go for it. The 275/40 is nearly an inch taller than stock sizes and will throw off your speedometer and lengthen your final drive slowing acceleration. A better option would be to go with the 18x10 +38 and put a 285/30/18 on, especially with the overfenders.

Nitto doesn't have a 245/40 and I can't run 255/40 since it will give me one more point in my Time Trial class. The other option was 235/40, but that would leave me with one point and you really can't do much with one point and it would be only a 235 tire...

Hi I have 17x9 +45 sbc finish sitting in my garage. Car is on stands will go swap tires on it tom. 225f 255r. I have the sbc finish and it seems to catch on swirls easily is that true? do you guys have experience with the swirls and eliminating them? Also I have been searching the internet for days! but I need help with the lugnuts. I was thinking of buying neo chromes but it feels like they fade off or that they are cheap of quality. I just want something light and durable to go with the wheels and would preferably do black lugs. Do you guys know of a good brand for 17mm so they wont ruin my finish of the wheels? thank you.
