Whats a good tire and rim set up?

Ok so I am getting the 18" FR500 black deep dish rims. What tire configuration do you guys recommend? The only thing I can find cheap would be a 285/35/18 in the back and 265/35/18 in the front. That’s what I am seeing a lot of and for a decent price (about 900 for all 4). I want to go 315 in the back and a 275 in the front but can’t get any in 18" unless I go to like a drag tire. Any suggestions? Should I just stay with the 285/265 setup. Will the 285 fill the rear wheel well or even stick a little bit out of the rear fender (that’s what I want)? I just want a really wide looking tire in the back.

The 285's should look good if they dont stick out far enough maybe go to a wheel spacer on the back?
