Default Buying OE wheels, need tires sizes for 18's

ok so the OE wheels im getting for the GF's ride are 17x9.5's in the front and 18x10.5's in the back and i dont know what size or brand tires to get.

I want decent hooking tires on the back with close to a 315 look. im just not well versed in tire sizes...

I'm running a 315/35/18 on my 18x10.5 C5 DD wheels. PERFECT fit in my opinion. I'm running Toyo Proxes TQ drag radial tires, which are great also. They still have very impressive street manners due to the tread design. Highly recommend them.

Those are an inch taller than stock. What are you running in the front and/or dealt with abs issues for the OP.
