Reminds me of my old setup. No rubbing right?
I'm so torn between getting the following:
CCWs like above,
Work Meister S13P 18x9 +31 Fronts / 18x10 +30 rears, or
AdvanGTs in 18x9.5 +35 Fronts / 18x10 +40 Rears.
Looks like with the Works and Advans can run 255/35/18 up front and a 285/30/18 out back?
I know with the CCWs you can run 285/30/18 square without issue.
Thoughts?

For sizes, I think the AdvanGTs are a better choice. But I'd go 255/35-18 front ad 275/35-18 rear. Much better fit on those widths, less likely to rub, can run lower ride height, save weight, save $$$.

9.5" wheel width is the minimum for 285/35, so not ideal. 255/35-18 is a much better performance fitment on a 9.5" wheel. Also, if ultimate grip is what you're after there aren't many extreme perf tires available in 285/35-18. I know everybody's fixated on 285s all-around but IMO 255/275 on those wheel widths would be about ideal...

285/35-18 are nearly an inch taller than 255/35-18 as well as being wider. For sure they'd be a lot more likely to rub or force you to run a higher ride height to avoid rubbing.

The suggested sizes should fit pretty nicely, assuming you have rolled fenders. The wheels are all a very different look, though, so it really should come down to the style you want rather than the tire sizing. If tire sizing (as a proxy for performance) is your priority, then you may as well just get the ADVANs, or better yet, any of the forged 1 pc RAYS wheels.

My main concern with the ADVANs is making sure they'd clear a big brake kit up front. Another issue is finding them in stock stateside or having to wait 2-4 months for some wheels lol.
What about CCWs like the following:
F: 18x10 +50 285/30/18
R: 18x10 +38 285/30/18
Per the excel looks like it would have great fitment and give the rear a bit more lip...

@twinturbopete I'm not sure if Advan Gt's come in 18x9.5 +35. I know they come in 18x10 +35 though. I have advan GT with 18x9.5 +45 all around.

I strongly suggest 255/35 over 265/35. Stay as close to 25" OD as possible depending on tire manufacturer. If you go 9+43 F/R you can rotate wheels front to back as well, Just get a 5-7mm hubcentric spacer for the rear.
