Default Tires advice

Hi, i need your help to make the right choice for my tires on my JK Sahara unlimited. I don't do as much offroad (less than 5%) but I really want to change my tires for the look. I took my Jeep with the 18"rims and I want to keep them. I live in Belgium and spacers are not allowed!!! But I saw those tires and they can fit on my rims: Toyo open country A/T, what do you think about them? On my last TJ I had BFG AT, are they similar?
As far as the size is concerned, I'm thinking about the LT275/70R18 125S E/10. Do you think the fit under the flares?

Toyo isn't bad. I went with the Pro Comp Xtreme All Terrain. 40,000 mile tread life warranty and they have a pretty agressive look. i have no regrets so far.

"Even still, we found the tires to be extremely civilized on the street. In fact, they're the among the best riding, quitest mud tires we've ever driven." JP mag
Excellent offroad handling

Thats all I have on hand but it will give you a good idea of what each tire is capable of. I also threw in some mud tires in case you want to go for a more rugged look.
