245's on the front on a 9" and 305 on a 10" on the rear
So... The tires will fit, I know 305 is a bit much on a 10" rim
BUT is the width difference too much where I'll get a lot of... Whatever I'll get? I don't care about the sidewall flex and roll on the rears, I like 305's, lol Thanks in advance!

Don't go over 20% on your width. 9" divided by 0.0393= 229. 229 times 20%= 274.80. Rear is 304.89. The "whatever you get" you're talking about potentially could be a tire blowing off the rim equaling a not so good day. 275/305 should be fine and safe but some tires will have flex and stuff which will hurt performance.

I want to go 245 and 305, I'm wondering if the 60mm difference is too much

40 is the magic number. I usually like to stick to factory stagger or under so basically 30mm or below. I will be experimenting with 40 though down the road when I go 315 and 275...... Basically your rears will track to the road really bad and your fronts won't.

I really wanted 305's... And if I WANTED to go 275 on the front, I can't, because the RE-11's only come in 275/30, and I'd want 275/35 to maintain about the same sidewall as 245/40...

But don't most crazy super cars (Lambo/Ferrari/etc) have a crazy stagger?
Ex: I'm looking at the Gallardo and it says 235/295 F/R http://www.lamborghini.com/en/models...pecifications/

You could look at a different tire if the one you want doesn't come in the size you want...
I had a 40mm stagger and it understeered a lot. I've since gone wider in the front back to OEM stagger of 30mm and it's much better in the turns.

I want RE-11's and the front comes in 275 as a bump up, and a SLIM sidewall

And RE-11's are cheaper... And they're less noisy than my current Yokohamas

However, my PSS' have lasted longer than 20k. Cheaper... yes. PSS' are quiet on tarmac. On Concrete meh, but no tire is quiet on that. I will say the PSS are wayyyyy quieter than stock, to give a reference.
