Default Help please. Tire fitment

Hey guys I had a hard time viewing the gallery for wheel tire pictures. I would appreciate some help. I am getting the oe replica c6 z06 black wheels That are
Front-18x9.5 56mm offset.
Rear-19x10 65mm offset.
I need to know what size tires I should buy for the tires to be flush with the wheel. I was thinking about 255/40-18 for front and 285/35-19 for the rear
Here are the wheels I am getting
http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3/...Wheels-Black_9

Is there anything else I need to do for this setup?

Thanks in advance

I have 275 nitto 555r on a 9.5 an nitto 305 DRs on a 10.5 an they're exactly flush with the rim..that should give you a little platform to work off of!!

Flush with the outer edge of the rim,yes!! But not flush with the fenders..the rears are about a 3/4 inch sunk in on each side..that's with OEwheels..each wheel might be different!! If you want your wheels even with the fenders either make sure your offset is correct on the wheel or run a spacer (as a last resort)!!
