Default 18x8.5 18x10.5 What tire size?

I am gonna be buying new rims but not sure about the tire size. I want the sidewalls to look the same size cause it would look goofy if I messed that up haha

For the rears I am gonna be running 295/35/18 so what do I need for the front? Or what are some numbers you suggest for front and rear?

That was what I was gonna go with if I got the 18x9.5 rim but the rims I am getting are 18" 8.5/10.5 Black C6 Z06 Deep Dish. According to calculators the 255/40/18 and 295/35/18 are almost the same size sidewall and circumference
