Put some 245/45r20s on the front and keep the extra set of 275s for the rear.

I think some people have run 275s in the front, but they seem very wide for that, and I imagine rubbing would be a problem in some circumstances. I like EricGs suggestion. The staggered look with 245s in front and 275s in the rear looks great, and you'll have an extra set of 275s ready to go when the rears need to be replaced.

Normally the 275's don't rub, but there is substantial variation among manufacturers.

When you are tire shopping look for a UNIDIRECTIONAL tire. If you search here you'll find many of us prefer Toyo Proxes 4. It's an all season tire with summer tire stick!

Those Sunnys are cheap and don't last. You should roast them off and post up some pics of it! Congrats on the SRT8
