What size tyres do I need?

I fancy a change so my 19's are coming off.

I will be replacing them with some 18" Veloce RS wheels. I believe they are 8" front and 9.5" rear.

So... what width/profile tyres do I need to buy?
 
NB OEM 18's came in 8J Front & 10J Rear. Tyre sizes were:

Front - 225/40/18
Rear - 265/35/18

265 is fine on a 9.5J Rim.

Bit disappointing that the wheels are 0.5 inch narrower than standard when they are supposed to be a direct replacement!

Or am I over thinking this??
 
Depends on the offset. If it's slightly more aggressive than the OEM 10j's et65 then 0.5" shouldn't make any visual difference with the same width tyre.
Alternatively add a spacer to suit or stance as required.
