XXR Right Size

So I am thinking about piciking up some XXR 527's in Chormanium Black. Specs are 18x9.75 +20mm. I was wondering what would be a good tire size for these. i know zero about tires so i am clueless on what to get. My car is lowered so I assume I might have to roll the back at the very least. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks ahead of time

proper tire size on that wheel should be 275/35/18 but you can slide with 265/35/18. Hope this helps.

265? Would that be like a direct fitment. I see a lot of people running 245's with this setup. which one is a bigger tire

you might want to start reading about tire profiles if you don't know which is larger between a 265 and 245.

with no roll or pull in the back you'd need like a 225 tire to not rub

265 is a wider tire than 245. Sure you can run 245 but you're tires are going to be stretched, not too safe
