18x9 and 18x9.5 wheels now what tires

I've read thru several post on the subject but not enough out there. I’ve decided to go with 18 inch wheels now what tires should I run. I like the staggered look but it not a deal breaker. Any suggestions would be helpful.

My fronts are 18 x 8 18 x 9.5 rear. I plan on dropping the front and rear 2 inches

So you think a 6 inch drop in the rear on that set up would be to much.?
