I'm looking into getting the right wheels for installing 265/35R18 all around on my car. I have searched the forum and found data that suggest wheel size of 18x9.5 +45 offset all around but can not confirm if fenders pulled/rolled, liners removed, rubbing, or any other specifics. I would like to hear from people actually running this set-up. I have coil-overs so ride height can be adjusted. I basically want to put as much rubber on my car as I can and do not mid rolling the fenders.
I have 18x10 wheels with 285 rear and 265 front. I could have gotten 285s up front if I rolled the fender but didn't want to modify the body as the car has 10k miles.
I run 18x11 +45 wheels on rolled front fenders with a bit of pull and mildly rolled rear (not necessary depending on camber).
I have run 285/30-18, 295/30-18 and 305/30-18 square so far and am eying 315/30-18 for my next set.
Actually, the 265/35-18 you want to run is the one tire that did give me rubbing problems up front because its too tall. FD needs a front tire under ~25.3" diameter or it will rub the fender liner and even the mudflap area of the wheel well when turning.

Thanks, Looking at Toyo R888 on their website looks like 285/30R18 is good on a 9.5" wheel. I have an option to buy a set of ce28N locally 18x9.5 I believe they are +45 or 47mm im still waiting for the seller to confirm.

285mm is a bit wide for a relatively puny 9.5 inch width wheel.
For reference, I run a 255/35-18 on a 9.5 front and a 265/35 on a 10 rear with 400-500 rwhp (boost dependent) with zero problems. Currently Yoko A052 but R888R in the past. I love the slight stagger and have never seen the need for wider rubber unless on NJMP etc.

Have pics of your setup? Yeah most 285/30-18s need at least a 10-10.5" wheel.

I might go with another set of wheels and buy in 18x10.

I do something very similar. I tried 265/35/18 on my 18x10+40 BBS E88s and it was just barely touching my front fender liner at full lock. I put that pair in the rear and managed to do a slightly stretched 255/35/18 on the front, same spec wheel.
I've got 265 35r on 18x10 squared and have no rub on the fender at all anywhere with Shine Front fenders stock rear. Rpf1's +38. Although I am still stock height/suspension until the coilovers come on, so it's not tucked yet either.
