Question What size tires for 18 x 9 and 18 x 10 with Eibach prokit? And fender rolling?

I just ordered some new iForged wheels and am now looking into some tires that wont rub or get damaged since my car is lowered 1 1/2". I am getting BFGoodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radial for the rear and was wondering what size I should go with for 18 x 10? It looks like they have 315/30R18, 295/35R18, 275/35R18. I have no clue what size for the front? Or should I get my fenders rolled? If I get them rolled how does the plastic attach since the inner lip is gone???
Thanks

Front: 275/35ZR18 and Rear 295/35ZR18.

With the correct offset rolling the quarter lip is not necessary.

Never have heard of anyone rolling hte front fender lip.

I would not run a tire wider that 295 on a 10" wide wheel, especially in an 18" diameter.

thanks a lot
I'll go with those most likely


does rolling the fenders give the fenders a flared look at all? I saw people wanting to buy fender flares and I thought they just went out too far. If rolling the fenders makes they have alittle flare to them I might do that.

If rolled correctly the wheel well lips should look just like OEM

That is the exact same wheel sizes i went with and with the prokit also.... I had to roll the fender lip a lil because it would rub some with my 295/35/18's out back with my sub box in or people in the back..... i ran 265/35's up front with no problem at all...... Ill be running a 305/35 back there now on a 18X10.5" rim......

I'm running a 295/35/18 on a 18x10.5 rim right now with nothing rubbing. I haven't put anyone in the back yet but I don't plan on it either.
