Default staggered zo6 rims

hey guys i need some help with tire selection. I have a 2002 sunset orange z28 lowered 1 inch on eibachs. I recently got a set of z06 rims that are staggered.( I think theyre off an 01' vette) I wish I had gotten all 18s but I got a deal and im trying to make it work. currently the set up is 245-45-17, and 275-35-18 I think that the fronts are too tall and the rears and too short. I have definetly decided to go taller in the rear but im trying to decide if I should go shorter in the front ....or if going taller in the rear will make it look better and I should just keep it the same..... my ideas are to go with a 285-40-18 or maybe a 295-35-18, but I dont want to buy a shorter front tire and hate it. any help? sorry no pics, but would greatly appreciate seeing some if guys have ran this set up b4 and had good results. thanks!!!!

Very helpful pics -- do you have any rubbing with the 275/40/18 up front? Make a full turn without scrubbing the wells?

Here's mine with the correct 265/40/17 front and 295/35/18 in back. I'm **** about people putting the wrong stuff on their car lol

Even with 265 in front it still rubbed the fender well when I'd turn all the way
