Not sure the tire manufacturer; But those sizes are about 1" different diameter,,,may end up with the Christmas tree effect (dash lighting all up because abs can't compensate).
I've seen guy's get away with 0.5",0.6"difference......not sure what 0.9"-1.0" will do.
Other's may chime in on this one/as i have no personal experience (yet) with running 2 different height tires.
As far as fitment on the wheels....no problems.

What tire size do you recommend I run with those rim specs? Sorry I don't know much on wheel tire sizes, but I do want a meaty look to it

Gonna be hard to go wide & stay close to stock diameter with 18's,,,that 10.5" wheel can support a 305/35/18,,,but not many choices/that's more of a drag-radial size.
