Default 70 camaro rim/tire question

I have a 1970 camaro which I am modifying using DSE deep tubs and a complete Ridetech Level 2 front and rear suspension. I plan on using 18 inch wheels front and rear.

Can anyone who has used this setup help me with tire and rim sizes? I need advice on backspacing in particular. I would like to use 335 on the back and am not certain how wide I can go on he front. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.

With a stock frame and global west tubular a arms, i've got 275 40 17 tires on mine, so I would think you should at least get that size, hopefully larger. Other tires in that rough size (275 wide tread, 25 to 25.5 inch diameter) includes 275 35 18 and 275 30 19. My wheels are stock 20002 camaro SS wheels plus 2" spacers. With that combo, I think my effective wheel backspace is roughly 5 inches.
