Tire recommendations for my setup

Tire recommendations for my setup
I've read through everything yet still don't know the ideal non-rubbing, good ride, correct speedo/ratio, good look to get.
04 G35 Sedan lowered with 350z suspension (about 1")
The picture attached is it in its current condition.
Anyways I got 18x8 and 18x9 rims for the car.
What sizes would be appropriate and recommended. I don't care about massive width, in fact 245 would be enough for the back and 265 would probably be overkill.
Thanks for your input.

Re: Tire recommendations for my setup
I think I'm going with
235/45/18's in the front
265/40/18's in the rear
According to my calculations these are almost the exact same dimensions as stock.
What do you guys think? Is 265 going to be ok (38mm offset) on a sedan on 18x9's?

265 should fit on a 9" rim and a 38mm seems like it would sit nicely with the fender. I have a coupe so I'm not 100% sure but the offset seems high enough.

Re: Tire recommendations for my setup
Yeah supposedly the 38mm is the best for our car.
I'll let you all know how it goes. I was really hoping to go with 255 but 255/40 is too small and 255/45 is too big, where as 265/40 is the exact dimensions of stock.
I'd actually be willing to go 255/45 if I could verify that the speedo measures are from the front wheels and not the drive wheels but I'd have to imagine it's from the rear. Does anyone know?
