275/35/18 should keep you close to stock diameter. Might have to do some fender mods though.

I have 275's on my car. I know 2 other people running 275's, and one running 285's... None of us have problems. How low is your car?

I have a 285/35 on the rear and 245/40 up front. They only rub over really hard turns and huge bumps. I haven't rolled the fenders yet, and my car is lowered about 2-2.5 inches. You having a 9 inch wheel will help a little also in the rear because I think mine would easily clear with that extra 1/4 inch. I don't think you'll have to roll anything in the rear, maybe the front if you mind it rubbing occassionally.
