Wow, those are some pretty narrow tires for a 9.2 width rim. I run a 285/30/18 on a 9.5" rim. I would go with the 255/35 if you want to stay pretty narrow. . .

I dont mind the stretching, I like that euro look, but at the same time I want to be safe, I noticed allot of guys run 255/35/18 or 255/40/18.

why buy wider wheels if you're not going to get wider tires. 255/35's should work out for you.

I'm running Goodyear DG3 F-1's 255/35/28 XL's on 18x8.5's and I love the way the car looks and handles. Suspension is stock with no rubbing at all.

My sentiments exactly!! You will also maintain the correct tire diameter as stock, using the 265 35 18
