Best tire size for 18x9.5??

Hey guys!

I'm hoping someone on here will have the same set up as me or similar that can help me out with the perfect tire size...

I'm currently on Tein S-Tech Springs (~1.5" drop) and I purchased TE-37SL's.

The spec of the wheels are 18x9.5 +35 all around. Basically, I want the best tire size that would fit flush and not rub. I have my rear fender's rolled and the fronts have not been pulled.

I was planning to get 225/40r18 all around... is that too much of a stretch? Please give me all input you guys have! Thanks!

If I were you, but I am not, I would run 265/18/40. But I'm the type to run aggressive tires. But 245 shouldn't be too bad of a stretch. What camber are you planning to run?

I am running 245/40/18 they have a slight strech and clear with no issues and I have about the same drop you have.. But my rims are +38 offset..

I rolled the rear just to be sure I had no rubbing..

I will run 255's as my next set since I know they will fit..

I hate stretch... I say 255 or 265 I usually convert the rim width to mm and add about 15-25mm for the perfect tire width
