Question for the tire experts

On 18x9's, for a 38 mm offset rim, what would be the widest tire I could fit on the rear for a stock suspension set up. Thanks

265/35 18 should fit but will be very close, it's possible one of the "wider" tire brands MAY hit the fender lip, depending on camber settings. 255/35 18 should definitely fit with no problems.

Thanks for the help! Not sure what I'm going to do yet, but 265's in the rear would be nice. I just wish I knew for sure if they would fit. Don't want to guess. So if anyone has a setup like this, I would appreciate some helpful info. Thanks

No rubbing on the street, haven't had a chance to test it out on the track yet though.
