So annoyed and now i need help So after waiting nearly 3 months for my new c7 z06 wheels to come in for my 2000 ws6 I get a call last night saying that they are no longer coming because they are on back order even though 2 weeks ago I was told they are at the border. So now im stuck trying to pick another wheel because im not waiting another 2 months hoping the z06 wheels show.
Im looking at VMR's v710. They have an offset of 45mm. Im going 18x9.5 all 4 corners and for rubber thinking 275/40/18 rear but unsure of the front, I was thinking 275/35/18 but currently im at stock height but have bmr springs that I plan on throwing on shortly. Will the 275/35/18 cause rubbing once im lowered or should I just go 245/40/18 on the front?
Please someone help me out

Technically, a 275/35R18 tire is smaller in diameter than a 245/40R18 at 25.6" and 25.7" respectively. Now, running a 275/40R18 in the rear results in an inch difference in diameter between your front tire choices - not recommended.
Personally I would go with 275/40R18's all around for several reasons. First, the taller tire will help fill up the wheel gap which looks more aesthetically pleasing than the popular 275/35R18 tire size - trust me, look at the gap a 275/35R18 tire leaves. Moreover, the larger sidewall will help soften the impact harshness of the larger 18's. A 275/40R18 tire has a sidewall height of 4.33" whereas a 275/35R18 tire has a sidewall height of 3.79". Furthermore, a 245/40R18 tire would is pushing it on a 9.5" tire; a 275 would be ideal. Lastly, a 275/40R18 tire will fit just fine with BMR springs. I am running 275/40R18 fronts and 315/35R18 rears on my Koni/Strano setup.
Here's some pics when I was on 275/40R18 fronts with 295/40R18 rears on Strano/Koni:
