Default 18's

Will I have clearance problems with 18's on a S95? I'm trying to fit a 305/30/18. My car is lowered 1.5" all around.

305 up front, you might have some issues rubbing while your turning unless you install spacers to extend your tires out. For the rear 305's should be alright, matter of fact someone on this forum has 355's in the rear.
For clearance wise, you'll be fine. I've got 18in with 35's all around and my ride has been lowered approx 1.5in. Next time im going 40's to fill up some of that gap.

no you wont have any issues, just stick with like a 255 or 265 up front and the 305 out back will be fine.

I just want to make sure the 18's fit with the 305 because right now I have 255/40/17s on the rear and when I put 1" wheel spacers on they rub. So i guess thats a 50mm difference?

you'll be fine with 305's in the rear, 315's may rub depending on how low it is,, but do the oldschool rolling the fender with a baseball bat thing, you'll gain an extra inch of clearance.
