You will be fine with those sizes.The only problem is finding a 315/35/18 in that size.

I would do 265/35/R18 in front and 295/35/R18 or 305/35/R18 in back.

I have the 255/35/R18 Nitto 555's in front and 285/35/R18 in back with the Nitto DR's...I like them a lot but next time I will get Regular 555's all around and 265's in front and probably 295 or 305's in back...right now the rim sticks out a hair.
