I'm actually been looking for maybe some used te's I have other stuff that are higher priority right now so budget is tight. Would those wheels fit good on a 255 wheel without issues? I'm assuming I stick to 40 profile?
18x9.5 +38rpf1's with some 275's. I went with 18x9.5+15 with 255/35/18 neova ado8's and it was ALOT of work to get the rears to fit. If i could do it all over again I would definitely have gone with +38 so i could fit wider tires.

How much modification did it take for those 275's
I didn't go with the 275's. If I did it all over again i would have gone with the 275's. +15 offset moves the wheel out 23mm more compared to +38. 275's are 20 mm wider then 255's but would essentially only stick out 10mm more then the 275's which is less than the 23mm difference due to a more aggressive offset. The 13mm difference between running 18x9.5+38 with 275's and 18x9.5+15 with 255's is clearly worth it if you want more tire on the ground. I chose the +15 route and after a ton of work it looks mean as **** but would have definitely preferred more tire on the ground instead. I hope this makes sense

Guys there are a few threads around that illustrate how to run 275's ,but most will tell you to run 285's due to tire height.

Yep.
I run 255/40/17 Hankook semi-slicks on my Time Attack/hill climb Evo 6 with Weds 17 x 9" + 25 wheels. IMO, it's the perfect size for Evo 5-9 without making radical changes to your front and rear guards. You probably want to think about going wider if you're running more than 450hp.

BTW, what rims are those?
I've made the ''mistake'' of going 18x9.5 +22 in stead of +30 when I just ordered my wheels. But I wanted to go for a more aggressive look with the stock fenders/qtrs at that time, oops. I have the evo dave fender mod but will have to work the qtrs more to fit the rears better. Could someone tell me the pros/cons to running a 255/35/18 to a 255/40/18?
