The front size is good but I don't think 275 will look good, it'll look more stretched than the front, if you're running 265 up front you need at least 295 or more. If you want to run 275 rear then you have to run smaller up front 245-255. Maybe a 255/30 front and 285/30 rear would be good.

What sizes are on the wheels now?

Default Meaty Look.

If you want a meaty look you have to run a 35 series tire because the 30 series is not tall enough. I'm running 275/35/19 in the rear and 245/35/19 upfront. Here's a pic of my tires with a 35 series.

I would stay away from a 40 series. I ran 275/40 and I chewed that tire up! Had to roll, pull and flare the fenders to not run and even still it rubbed on the well.

Miami-sc is right, don't run a 40 series. I been running a 40 series for winter tires, and they are to tall and a rub all the time. Stick with a 35 series tire.
