Don't mind rolling the fenders a little...

One of the problems with tire selection is that all tires aren't really the same width. The 255/40/18 Neova rubbed badly on the rears, while the 265/35/18 Hankook RS2 only rubbed slightly. It's totally not what we expected, but that's how it turned out.

The Neova has a very square shoulder, while the Hankook has a rouned shoulder.

I haven't come up with a perfect solution yet for this car. So far there isn't a "plug and play" solution for running at 255 front & 255 or 265 rear setup yet. If you don't mind mixing tire brands F/R, then I would make the following recommendation tenatively.

Toyo R1R 255/35/18 front - may have to trim some of the plastic in the wheel well. We did this for the 255/40 Neova which was a very "tall" tire, you may not have to do this with the 35 profile Toyo.

Hankook 265/35/18 rear - will rub only during hard cornering or if you hit big bumps. Will not rub enough to cut into the tire cords though. If you roll the fender slightly it won't rub at all.

If D-Force makes a 18x9.5 +55 offset wheel, we'll all be in business!
