help deciding on tire size...

decided to go with 18's this time around when i finish my car. gonna do a 18x11 in the rear with 18x9.5 up front... pretty standard for 4th gen. but question is do i go with a 315/35 or 315/30... i cant decide. both will work fine on my car. the 35 is 26.7 tall and the 30 is 25.4 tall... stock tires run about 25.5 tall. so do i go with a little thicker sidewall and hope that it doesnt look goofy or go with the thinner sidewall and hope it doesnt look goofy. definitly dont like the rubber band tire look, but also dont want to look like i have truck tires on the car either. thoughts? input appreciated. just somthing to add that car is lowered alot but if go with the 30 series tire will probably have to lower the rear a tad more just to get it to sit the way i want. if i go the 35 ill probably have to raise the front up a tad (have coil overs so no big deal). car has slight rake and dont want the raked look.
