I would recommend 215/40 18 front and 245/35 18 rear.
You can run 225/40 18 fronts also but try to stay away from 255/35 18 rears.

I get my wheels/tires in today with 255 rears on about a 1.2" drop, so I guess I'll see if it's going to rub later on.

That's why I recommend 215 front and 245 rear to be safe but certain brand of tires are physically skinnier for a 225 so it can get away from rubbing.

i have the BF goodrich G force T/A tires on same wheels. I run 225/35/18x7.5 front and 255/40/18x8.5 +47 offset rear with 1" eibach spring drop. I have s serious rubbing issue with my rear.
What is wrong with this set up? What should i do?

if you got a 40 series in the rear the tires may be way too tall and also the brand of tires bf goodrich i'm sure isn't a rounded sidewall like some falkens etc.....
maybe like mill out the wheels or run camber
