Help with Tire size selection!!

Ok i decided i'm going with 17x9" wheels. Now on the back of my car i HAVE to have a 275/40x17, i absolutely love the aggressive stance it gives the car, but my question is about the front, would i be able to run the same size tire up there without interference or will i be better off running a 245/45x17 up there, i'm afraid if i run a 275 on the front when i turn it will rub and i dont want that. So what will fit and look right?? As long as the back has 275's i dont care what goes up front as long as the profile is proportional.

And also the rims i have selected are a 4th gen style so i will need the 2.5" spacer to compensate for the offset, where can i buy these?

You will be fine with the 275's. I have those on all 4 corners and have no rubbing whatsoever.

Go with some 315's in the rear, for that flintstones - steam roller kind of look.
275's in the front are great looking.
