The 18x8 with +35 offset will fit fine, even with 245/40/18 tires. But get the same size front and back so you can rotate tires.

Yeah, your car isn't RWD and the whole "handling" argument is debatable.

I like those wheels a lot.

His car looks badazz in person with the wider wheel in the back. Going around on-ramps at 90mph, the car was planted! I think he said it's because you can increase the stiffness of the RSB without worrying about the rear end sliding as easily. He also has the fronts at -1degree of camber.

Go for 9", or 9.5" in the back. With a 40mm offset you should fit 275/35/18's, or with 35mm offset, don't go wider than 265.

if your going to use the 265/35 on the rear for sure you should look into the 225/40 or 235/40 up front.

Depends on the width. Your statement sounds so general.

245/40 is taller than the 265/35
it makes you look taller in the front. (your @ss looks like it's draging)

thats why i said to look at the 225 or 235

and 245 is not the right size for a 8" wheel. it should be used with a 8.5" wheel.

you might have to roll the rear fenders, it all depends on the wheel.

best thing to do is try them on.

slammed95,

I said your statement sounds general because you didnt specify which size for the front or rear. "Handling with 225s would suck!" They won't if you have 225 in fronts and 265/275 in rears, with the right rim width. And they could give better handling than having 245 all around. At least, that's what I think.
