Tyre gurus please help

Just got some wheels delivered, need to order new tyres asap want Michelin pilot super sports.

Bbs Fi rkp offsets

Fronts 9.5x18 Et 18
Rears. 10.5x18 Et 22

Can't get 265/35/18 or 285/35/18 mpss in the uk .

So it's either 255/40/18 - 275/40/18

Or 255/40/18 - 295/35/18

Would prefer the second combination but I am thinking the 295/35/18 will rub some people say it will and some say it won't.

Does anyone know for definite?

I also have 295-30 20's on a lowered sport suspension without any problems.

295/30 should be fine, even on a slightly lowered susp.
