255/35 for sure will fit, but you might look like a monster truck

245/40 might fit with offset

+35 with a 9.5" will likely rub more.

With that 9.5" width, even at +38, I'm worried you will get rub with passengers in the car.

Then again I go for the un-aggressive wheel setup on my car, so there's that. :cool:

do you think an 18x8 +35 would be a better choice?

If you want an aggressive-ish look with no worries that will look right on your sedan, try 18x8.5 +35 with a 235/40 tire.

sadly fitment industries does not have 18x8.5 for the TSV in black the closest i can get is 18x8 +35 or i could get 17x9 +40, or just go with the 18x9.5 +38.

this is all so hard sorry about all the numbers, i never knew getting wheels was so complicated lol

I have 18x9.5 with 265/35/18 with Eibach Sportlines with -1.5 camber in the rear.

No fender rolling. No rubbing.

18 9.5 +38 w/ 235 40 Michelin pilot a/s
they were fine on swift springs.. Just installed coilovers. This is the lowest it'll go in the front without adjusting Tien factory preload. rears are Tien factory height.

No problems. Getting alignment in 2 weeks.
Hello, you have Tein Street Advance Z? I have that now and the ride height is so low! i am gonna change to 17"x9" + 49ET with 245/45r17, will i run into rubbing issues with this setup with the Tiens coilovers? Any advise is appreciated!
