Wheel and tire question

Hey guys, looking to buy my first set of wheels. Looking at Rota Grids, flat black 18x9.5 with a 22mm offset. And 265/35 tires. I'll be lowered on swift spec R springs. Any concerns of rubbing? Any recommendations? I don't want to roll my fenders, and I don't want to rub. And as of right now all I see that wheeldude.com is carrying are 20mm offset. Any input would be great. I know this is beating a dead horse. I just want to make sure I'm spending my money wisely. Sorry in advance.thanks

I'm in your state, have the same car, and also went to EFI. I also just ordered from Wheeldude. Should be here monday. Of course, they claim that combo will work on a stock suspended car. I just don't know if that will work with your suspension.

I went with the DPT's 18 X 9.5 , 22et. I have 275/35 Direzza II's. I noticed on their specs that the 275's are only 0.1 inch wider tread that the 265's as measured on a 9.5 wheel. The 275's are only 1% difference in height than stock, vs 4% for the 265's. If I have to roll the rears (wheeldude told me to expect this) I will....but only 0.1 inches. We shall see. If you want to check these out, PM me.

You're in that iffy state. Depends on the brand of tires you order and the alignment you have. Also almost a guaranteed rub if you have 4 adults in the car.
