I'm running a 295/35 19 on a 10inch wheel and it looks good (tires not bulging over the rim ) so you should be okay with a 285/35 or 285/40 if you want more sidewall. It want look like the tires laying over the rim.

275/40/18 is too tall, go with 275/35/18 and maintain the stock tire height.

i was thinking about 285/35/18s in the rear but I think Nitto Extreme 555's and the Sumitomo HTZ III were the only tires in 285/35 and 275/35 but I didn't want either. I really wanted Goodyear GS-D3s in 285 all around but didn't want to spend $300 a tire or worry about the front rubbing.

275/35R18 is the PERFECT tire for that wheel.

Ive got 245/40s on front and 285/35s on the rear. I'll go 275/35 on front next time, and up-grade to 18X10.5s on the rear and run 305 DRs.
