Offset is important to know in giving you advice. I would go with a 275 35 18 in the rear, though, when you get to 265 and wider with a 40 series tire, it seems to be too tall.

Stock suspension you will have rub issues. Instead of rolling or cutting the fenders, I would install the Pedders 5/16 lift springs in the rear with drag bags. It will stiffen the rear and give you the clearance without cutting/rolling. That's what I did and I have the 274 40 17 mt's dr's for the track, absolutely no rubbing.
