Tire size for 18's

Thinking of going with a 18x9.5 40mm offset on all four corners. Wondering what size tires anyone with this set up is running. Also let me know if you went with a wider tire then the stock 275's on the rear if you had any fitment issues or what mods you had to do to run the wider tire. Pictures would be great if you have any of your setup.

I am running 285x35xzr18 Michelin Pilot Sport on all four corners of Sara (2001 Z28).

My rims are "Forgeline" 18x9.5 +46mm offset. I have no problems with the tires rubbing against the stock height vehicle.

Here is a picture of Sara with the tires and rims:

A 285/35/18 is the widest recommended by most tire manufactures I'm aware of, but you likely can get a 275/35/18 for less money and I doubt you'll notice a difference between to two.
