Tire Question

I've been reading around and searching, a lot of info, and I just wanted to make everything clear. I'm interested in getting Volk Racing-CE-28N 18x8.5 with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 25, 30, 40, 47, or 52mm offset. I'm running stock now and new to the tire scene, which tires/tire size/offset would work?

I've read that 255 35 is the ideal size for 18s, I'm just concerned about rubbing and clearance.

255/35/18 and or 245/40/18 are your best bets

rubbing depends on suspension set up and brand of tire

wheel offset your best bet would be +30

+1 255/35-18. Prob the most common fit and majority of what 18" guys are using.

Calling upon the knowledge of EvoM! I've been thinking about this new setup:

Either:

Advan RS 18x8.5 +31
or
Advan RS
18x9.0 +29

both with 245/35/18. No clearance/rubbing issues?
