Default Tire Size

Here is the deal guys. I have been looking around for tires "just the back for now". I'm getting ready to finally put my supercharger in the car. I want to know what tires fit the stock rims stock height with out problems. Looking for something that will hold the power that's in a 295/35/18 or a 305/35/18. I just haven't found a clear answer on which one fits without rubbing or having to remove the rear brake ducts.
Car will have an A&A kit headers and meth later this summer it's a 02 c5z.

A 315/30/18 will clear with stock wheels, for traction go with either Mickey Thompson drag radials or the Toyo R888's or Nitto NT01's. All come in either or both the 305 and 315.
