Smile Staggered wheels and tires

Hey guys, another question, just bought a set of 18" ESR SR12 Wheels (front)18x8.5 / (rear)18x9.5 5x120 35/40 Gun Metal Staggered Rims and I need to get tires. I would like your recommendations; I'm thinking of going with 245/40/18(front) and 275/35/18 rear. Would this work? Any others recommendations? I uploaded the tire comparison visualizer below, please let me know how this set up sounds.
Thanks in advance...

Why do you want 35% in the rear instead of 40?

So the diameter in both tires are almost the same. I don't think I could go wider on rear keeping all at 40.
