Default Best Tire Size for 8.5/9.5 rim?

I plan on buying a set of AZA Z-1 wheels in the future--18x8.5 /18x9.5
I also plan on matching these with BFG KDW IIs
What is the optimum tire size for wheels this wide??

Im thinking 255 front and 285 rear?
Or 245/275 or 245/295 could also work, I'm not sure which will be best fitment
