I run 235 fronts and 275 rears on stock carrera light rims, no problems.

245 35 18 front, 275 35 18 rear works for me.

I also have the 18" Carrera rims that came on the car (2004 S.) Over here in Europe I can't get the tires I want in OEM 265/35-18 but I can get them in 275/35-18. Sounds like this should be fine? Any comments?

Difference in diameter is just 0.3" (7.62mm) larger, with 822 revs/mile OEM and 814 revs/mile for the 275's.
