Default Looking for Tire that will fit!!!

Hey guys, tonight im ordering Chrome Saleen rims and tires, and wanted to know which tire would give me the best look and ride and be able to clear the fenders with no rubbing or bumping, I have the Steeda Sport Lowering springs in the car so Its dropped 1" in the front and 1 1/2 in the rear would 265/35/18 be a good size for all for corners would that clear? Or would 265/40/18 would that be too much? Need help badly!!!

I'd go with 275/35/18's if you want a little more meat and with such a little drop you shouldn't have problems with rubbing.
