Are you into the stretched tire look? Or do you need the stretch tire for clearance because the rims have aggressive offsets? If so, than run something like 225/35 up front and 235 or 245/35 in the rear. If you are not into the stretched tire look or don't need it, I would run the standard 245 up front and 265 or 275 in the rear.

Might want to list your offsets though as people will be able to offer better help and suggestions based on those offsets.

you wont need a stretched tire for that size and offset... you can do a 245 front and 265 or 275 rear. 235 255 will work fine as well

What is your goal with them ... I heard "all i want is to sit flush" you might want to stretch them and get some spacers ... and depending on how flush you wanna be gonna require fender mods ... the inside

Well its ok . there are alot of threads on this .. but cant hurt to add good comments

I would do a slight stretch for now and then measure and get spacers ... If you dont you are looking to replace tires for smaller ones later ... I know I am on my 6th set of wheels

That is pretty slammed when being on 18s. You will probably need some fender mods up front, rear probably not due to the higher offset, but if you run spacers to get them more flush you probably will need to shave a bit.
