preferably, you would want offsets for both in the +40 to +50 range. Some people have gotten +38 in front and back to work without rubbing but you are really pushing it.

I have +45mm offsets all the way around for the same wheels sizes. Fits perfect. I think you'd be able to run a little less of an offseit up front, to push the wheels outward a bit more.

i run the rpo-1's in that exact size with +35mm in the front and +38mm in the back.
i have eibach springs around stock struts.
i used ecsta mx's with 235/40 in the front and 275/35 in the rear.
no fender rolling.
the rear JUST touches the lip. a slight rolling of the rear fender lip will solve that.
or you can just run the 265/35 and it "should" clear with no problems.

Offset
+42 for the front and +45 for the rear The fit is perfect I run 235 in the front and 265 tires in the rear and yes you could good with a wider tire that's really up to you.
