18x9 +30
18x10 +25 or 18x9.5 +22

Tires would be Michelin PSS 235/265 or 245/275.
Front fitment looks great, and either tire size would work for you. As you mentioned, I would choose the front tire based on which rear you end up going with in effort to keep overall rolling diameters in check.

18x9" ET30 - 235/40-18
18x9.5" ET22 - 265/35-18

or

18x9" ET30 - 245/40-18
18x10" ET25 - 275/35-18


In regards to rear fitment, both are aggressive but do-able. It really just comes down to a few variables: vehicle ride height, tire brand/size, camber settings as well as how rolled your fenders are. I would make the rear wheel decision based on your rear tire goal, as the two wheels will not look much different from each other aesthetically. The 18x10 ET25 will sit 3mm further towards the rear fenders in comparison to the 18x9.5" ET22.

The 18x9.5" ET22 is the easier fitment of the two.
