Fitment help

Hi everyone I need some help on fitting some wheels I have an eye on. They are 18x8.5 et 35 for the front and 18x9.5 et 40 in the rear. What tires so you recommend running. Thank you.

A 40 offset on the back is far from ideal.

215 in the front and 245 in the back will probably avoid any rubbing. Maybe. 245 will be a tad stretched on 9.5" too. 255 in the back will probably rub depending on the tire manufacturer.

I have some hankook v12s 255 in the rear. You think that would work with that. I have no clue what tire is good for stretching and not rubbing.

I know Michelins will rub with that size and offset. I don't know how Hankooks run. That's still a very aggressive offset to run.

I run 235/255 PSS on my stock wheels.
Have you looked into Nitto's?

I want to grab these. Anyone know a style similar with higher offsets. So hard to pick out wheels for this car.
