Question:
I want to run 18x8 in front and 18x10 in the back of my '70 Chevelle. It will be lowered 1". Other than that, pretty much stock drivetrain. My problem is: I want to have some "meaty" tires, not super low profile tires. I would like 235 or 245/50 in the front and a 275, 285 or 295/50 in back. Unfortunately the searches I have done yield only super low profile tires. I keep ending up in the truck/SUV tire section if I find the sizes I want. My questions are: is there any problem with using truck/SUV tires on my Chevelle? Or are there any tire manufacturers that make wide tires with aspect ratios in the 50 or 55 range?

50 series is low profile.What size gas tank does a 96 Olds Cutlass have? 16 gallon?
If you want to use 18-inch rims on a car designed originally for 14 or 15-inch then you have no alternative but to use low-profile tires, especially if the car is lowered. Those SUV tires your talking about won't even fit under the wheel wells unless you plan to do some serious cutting.
