Default What size tires do I need?

I ordered some new wheels, 18x8" front ET-50, 18x9.5" rear ET-55 BBS LM's. What tire size owuld work the best on my S, with a 1.25-1.5" drop? I've been thinking 225/40/18 fronts and 255/35/18 rears? If I went with 265's would I rub??

You may have problems with all four corners

I had your same front setup and rubbed at stock height during aggressive driving.

The best tire size for no rubbing would be 225/40R18 front and 245/35R18 rear. The best tire in those sizes would be the Michelin PS2 or the Goodyear GSD3.
If I can help let me know.
