Default Tires on 18" Z06 rims

I want to get 18 x 9.5" Z06 rims and I want to put 275 with either 35 or 40 sidewall. In the rear I want 18 x 10.5" rims with some 305 or 315 tires. I think the sidewall would be 35 profile. But my real question is who makes the tires for this size? I see some brands do in 305, like BFG. But not up to the size I want of 315. Who makes the 315s that are worth a damn, NOT for drag purposes but more for auto-x. I also really like the gun metal scheme and I think that is the OE concept wheel in what they consider polished. That's about it and I'm sure I'll get the flame for the search button and believe me I have. I just want a good package price from one of our sponsors or some input from members that have them. Thanks!

Thanks, I have seen quite a few tires in those sizes, to include my beloved BFGs. Thank you for the help. Any good info for the rim ideas, like OE concepts?
