Default 18" wheel suggestion? Need help!

I have some 17 inch wheels atm and i need to switch it up a bit. Im looking into 18s just because it looks nice on fbodys and tires are cheaper then say 19". I want to lower the car about 1.25 inches so its important that my wheels dont stick out the fender. I was thinking 18x9.5 in the front and (18x10.5 or 18x11) in the rear. My budgets around 2 grand. And i dont want dd corvette wheels lol.
Thanks for the help!

IForged wheels C5 fitment I believe, purchased used. No fenders rolled or BFH to wheel wells. Light rubbing on rear outer sidewall on big dips.
