Default Best tire size on 18x10.5 rim?

Im thinking about getting a set of 18x10.5 wheels on all 4 corners and was wondering what would be the best size tire to run on all 4 corners? I wanna have the same size tire so i can rotate them also. thanx

Do u think I can run that tire without rubbing issues? Especially on the front at full lock?

The rear won't be a issue. If anything you may need to do a little BFH. On the front at near full lock you probably will have some rubbing right at where the painted area's end. When I had TT2's I ran a 285/40/17 tire with a 48mm offset and just barely rubbed.

I'm running a 305/35/18 Nitto R2 at all four corners w/ a 56mm offset and it only rubs the inner plastic on the front on one small area, approximately 2 sq inches in size. Just barely touches the plastic enough to keep it clean. My car is lowered also
