Offset is probably too low. These are 265/35r18's on 18x9.5 +35 wheels. Rear fenders fully rolled, 10mm front spacer. On coilovers.

So we can better offer an opinion, let us know the following:
Tire size
Rim size & offset
What body work has been performed to the rears?

What is rubbing (rears? / fronts?)

i'll double check the sizes when i get off work. No work besides struts on the front and rear. Mostly the rear rubs.

Thanks. Yeah that wheel gap is killing me. Evos look so clean dropped.

Yes, Give me those sizes & will run them on the caluclator & let you know if we can get those to fit w/out rubbing

Take one wheel off & the size & offset will be casted /stamped into the back of the hub

Joe to the rescue! Lemme take a stab at this and then you can run it through your calc. Those wheels look to be Rota G-Force wheels. Given your tire size we know the rim is 18" but the offset and width are still up in the air. I just popped on their website and found this chart: http://www.rotawheels.com/wheel.php?id=27

By process of elimination the only viable option is 18x9 +30. Now I did make a few assumptions in that those are indeed Rota G-Force wheels, that those are the only sizes they ever offered and lastly that the OP isnt using some sort of spacer adapter. Id say I feel pretty comfortable with that answer nonetheless.

And given that I'd say the rears could probably use a simple roll and you should be good to go but other things such as camber and ride height must be taken into account and that'll dictate what else is needed.

^^^Thanks Eric

If thats the case then:
18x9 +30 running a 255/35 would require a rear roll for sure
