Default wheel and tire size help!!

Hey guys, looking for your opinion, I have a mini tubbed 68 camaro that will be running a complete ridetech level 2 with tru turn front and a rear bolt in ridetech 4 link. Ridetech recommends running a 18x9.5 with a 275/30/18 tire on the front with no fender modifications so what is a good rear wheel and tire size to go with those fronts? I was thinking of going with an 18x11 rear wheel.
Thanks

yes, 315 is a nice balance and both being a very popular size means they will be inexpensive and plentiful.

Do a couple wheel house and frame mods and you can run a 10".

Thanks Vince, Let me tell you it is very tempting to do some mods and get that 10 in front but I need to draw the line some where. It is going to be 95% street driven so I think the 9.5 will work. I know some guys are even getting a 12 in wheel on the rear but I really am not pushing it, I think I will be happy with the 11.
