Been beaten to death a million times man lol. Its an 8 inch rim, you can run a 255/40/17 if you like. Or you can stick to a 245 size tire.

+38 is the offset for all Evo stock rims.

I don't know anyone who has bothered to recalibrate their speedo. I have 3 sets of rims/tires, all of which are different sizes, and I don't think twice about it.

I am trying to figure out offset then, and I am really confused. If i run an 18 x 9 35mm offset, why will it need spacers if I am currently running 38mm.

Because you can't go by the offset alone. You have to go by the design and size of the rim. 18X9s are much bigger than 17X8s.

255/45 is not right. I think you mean 255/40, and yes, that can be run without rubbing depending on the wheel and offset.
