A 265 would be good and would fill it out very nice. Let me know if you need help picking out a comob. :)

I agree about the 265s, but have to ask why so many people go about this backwards. You're supposed to choose the tires first and then get the proper wheel for them; you don't choose a wheel and then get tires. The only time that you think about the wheels first is when the rules under which you race specify wheels and leave tires up to you (such as Stock class for autocrossing), but that isn't the case here, since no autocrossing class that I've heard of forces Evos onto 18x9.5s.

265/35's.

Running 275s here

A lot of people run 255/35's. Depending on what tire you run, this is pretty good. I ran them in a hankook v12. For those tires, I say go 265. The wider ones, you might be able to get away with a 255 though. Ideally, I say 265 as well.

265's will be the way to go, remember direzza star specs 265s but actually run a size larger (275). if your are lowered or plan on it in the future you may want to consider rolling the fenders and slight camber

265's are perfect but you could prob fit 275's too.

265's are perfect

265/35

Just mounted my 265/35s on a 9.5 rim. I got Hankook RS-3s from DTD. Someone has a new set listed in the classified section for cheap

I am going to be using the swift spec r springs for now. So also so i far i am going to get the Rota torque or the TR2 rims.

265/35 or 275. 265 is perfect though.
