Theres all kinds of options depends on how much $$ you got & tire stretch you want.

215/35 front

235/35 rear

should look nice

225/35 on the 18x10s will be decent stretch
225/40 is mild stretch
235/35 light stretch
215/40/ or 215/35 if ur cragy

could also do:

205/40 front

225/40 rear
if ur going 40 series.
