Default Tires with Rounder Sidwalls?

Just wanted to see if I can get some members to list some tires with rounder sidewalls, something that isn't as square as let's say a Kumho Ecsta 712 or a Toyo, but maybe like a Bridgestone S-03 I know is a bit more rounded.

I don't know about the following brands though

Dunlop
Falken
Pirelli
Fuzion
Yokohama
etc, etc

please if you can recommend something with a rounder sidwall to cut down on the rubbing on 18's that would be great.

Yes I know about fender rolling and milling the inside of the wheels a few MM, just wanted to see if I could get some opinions or thoughts on this.

Thanks

I should of actually phrased it as something with a rounder/thinner sidewall, not a falken azenis of course, but something that will be just a bit thinner and more rounded off to just get that tiny bit more clearance.

toyo's are thinner and will be able to clear better for an 18 you are saying? they seem to have a soft sidewall from my past experiences
