It has currently 18x8.5 rear, how wide can you go before you cause any issues? and what tire combination would you have?

depends if you get your wheels custom built or not. im running 19x8.5 in the front and 19x10 in the rear

With max modding, you can probably fit 18x10's on all corners, but in the front it'd require a widebody kit and camber, rear would require m3 bits

Currently best sizes are 18x8.5, 18x9.5 without modding.

18x8.5 +40 with a 225 is as aggressive as you'll want to go before any kind of rubbing issues start occurring up front.

most 235's have been documented to have no rubbing issues with a reasonable offset. ive used 235s at 45mm through 38mm offset without any rubbing in the front (8.5" wheel, lowered, no fender modifications).

Thanks for your help.

you have a lot of reading to do, as there's a LOT of discussion on here about rear fitment, but here's the short answer:

if you're looking to put significantly wider tires in the back (265 or more), you need very high offsets... somewhere between 50mm and 62mm. you'll find that there's almost nothing on the market fitting those specs in a 19" wheel.
