Default Front tire suggestions!

I have a 2005 350z, has not been lowered but my fenders are rolled.
I'm putting 18x9.5 on the front and 18x10.5 on the rear. I want a SLIGHT tire stretch, any suggestions on tire stats?

WHY?

If you have to have that, just run sizes that are same diameter but UNDER the width of most accepted 9.5/10.5 setups. That is... < 245/275/40 (or 255/285 but that's going the opposite direction of what you think you want.)

But answer first question first cuz its counterintuitive.... why run 9.5/10.5s in the first place if not putting on the proper tire?
