Default 18" 03 cobra wheels.

just bought some 03 cobras 18x9. what tire should i run? i want all 4 tires to be the same so i can rotate them. my car is an 89 5.0 lowered with spotline springs and i plan on removing the quadshocks.i was thinking 235/35/18 because i've seen blacksnakes setup and it seems to fit well but if possible i would like a slightly wider and taller tire if possible. if the front rubs a little i don't mind becasue i can get spacers. what size 18 tire will be the same hidth as a 245/45/17?

Lemme know how those tires fit im thinking about that size for my next tire change. The 235-40s are expensive.
