Tires for 05 cobalt SS

I'm looking for some new tires for the SS and I'm wondering about some sizes. i was looking to put 225 45 18 on the front but i went with the 225 40 18 instead do to fear of rubbing and I'm thinking 235 45 18 but think I'm going to go with 235 40 18 cause i don't think they will be to big and won't leave enough space for bumps but I'm not sure. If anyone has these sizes on their car please let me know or if you tried them and they were to big. i got the front two ordered already which was the 225 40 18 but still thinkin on the rear. Any help with be nice!

255/35/18's will fit in most tires, except for BFG's. BFG's run pretty big.

Have 225/45/18 all the way around no rub at all on 06 ss/sc, imo going with 235 on the rear won't make much of a difference in stance.
