Default c5 Rims on 98 z28 Help

Hey everyone, i am new to this site and have some questions! I just purchased c5 rims, the front rims are 17s and rears 18s. What size of tires do you recommend me to buy? I have read all over the web that the rear tires will rub, but i have also read they will not.. just sit deep in the fender? Please help me!!! I have attached a picture of them next to my car.

The rear rides a bit rough but nothing to harsh. But I'm on **** stock shocks for now. The short sidewall doesn't help either.....lol. Plus our roads suck around here.
