Wheel and tire sizes....what is too much?

I have been looking tire and wheel sizes for my mendeola front suspension equipped project. What is too much? Lets say that you have atleast mendeola or strut front suspension and good rear coilovers etc.

I'v seen on some beetles 215-235/40 tires at front and 245-275/35 at back, and i have considered 215/40R18 at front and 255/35R18 at back. Allthough 225/40R18 is much more common than 215/40.

How is to drive with 17 or 18" wheels?

I have been looking hollowspoke 993 turbo 18" wheels and speedline lookalike kerscher KRS wheels, which are not the heaviest wheels. And i would prefer 7,5 front and 9" rear.

This 1303 has 225/40R18 and 265/35R18 tires, rear wheels allthough look at least 10" wide..Looks pretty wide.
