vette 18s on a t/a question??

hey guys im getting some corvette 18's for my 98 t/a. they're 18x9.5 all around and i was going to use 245/40/18 in the front and 265/35/18 in the rear. so i have 2 questions...
1. is 260/35/18 the widest i can go on a 9.5 rim?
2. will i have ANY rubbing problems at all on the car id i lowered it with the eibach prokit (about 1.5 drop)?

please let me know what you're thoughts are. thanks for your help guys!!

I say go with 275-35-18s on all four wheels. you should not have any rubbing issues after installing the pro-kit.
