Default Tire sizes for 18x7.5 and 18x9 wheels?

Just bought some Sport Classic II replica wheels on eBay. I know there are mixed opinions about replica wheels but these won't be seeing any track use. I am saving my D90's for that.

What size tires would be appropriate for these wheels?

18 X 7.5" front with 50mm offset
18 X 9.0" rear with 52mm offset

I found one previous post listing the preferred tire sizes for the 7.5J & 9J as 225/40 and 265/35. Are these correct?

I will post pictures once I get them mounted...

Forgot to mention that my car has been lowered to RS ride height. Think I'll have any rubbing issues with those sizes?

I am running that on my car and though it is lower than stock Euro RS I have had no problems. It is a common dimension on Euro RS with 8 and 10 inch speedlines.

You could consider rolling the rear arches as on the RS, I have had this done.
