I don't have any wheels set in mind yet. From searching from the threads on this forum, I have a good idea about what offsets I should look for in 9",9.5", and 10" width wheels, but I couldn't really find a lot of information on 8.5" wide wheels and just asked for future reference. I guess you are in the process of choosing a new set of wheels? If you are, good luck!

so back to my original question.....
18 x9 with +35 offset and 265/35 18 tyres... safe and easy for proper use?
(with coilovers, so a bit stiffer, and possibly a wee bit lower)

Will this fit? 19.0 x 8.5 Offset 43 all around.
And what size tires would work with this setup without having any rubbing issues?
Stock springs

Well j8, you were right. Having an autoshop install my rear spacers would have costed me nearly $300 in labor.
I've decided to run the KIC pre-studded spacers in the rear, and the Ichibi spacers that I originally had purchased in the front. I'll have to sell the other pair of Ichibas.
I wouldn't have to worry about anything when running two different types of spacers in the rear/front, would I? They're the same width and they're doing the same job, but I dunno.

I'm pretty excited. I'm getting my new tires mounted (Hankook Ventus EVO V12, 245/40/18) and also getting my spacers thrown on this Wednesday or Thursday. Hoping it'll fill most of the fender gap that I have left.

18 x 9 +27. Currently has a 245/40-18 with a slight stretch. Previous owner of the wheels said he had some rubbing issues with no drop. On my car (dropped on S Techs) the gap seems more than sufficient. You guys think I could run 255's?

On another note, alike to another member here, my LF tire when turning say onto another road at 90 degrees rubs on the plastic liner shoving it against the body's sheet metal and has worn a hole through. You can see the body's sheet metal and it wearing that down also. I put up with it figuring it will sooner or later the metal will be worn enough not to be an issue. The first member who noted this thought his car must of been in an accident since it only occurred on the LF..well I'm now a second person who has noted this. I think the body panel in the wheel well area is closer for some reason on the driver's side contrast to the passenger's side.
Recommendation: If you don't mind your speedo being off, get a 255/35 or better yet, a 265/35 to get closer to stock size without having the hassle I mentioned above. IF you don't mind doing extra work and putting up with some rubbing during sharp turns, then a 255/40. If you are running a 9.5 width rim or narrower, I'd suggest a 245. Only reason I got a 255 is because that's the minimum size recommended for a 10" rim before they start to stretch a lot.
