I'm sure this has been answered before but I'm having a hard time finding what I'm looking for. I'm looking at buying a set of wheels that are 18x8 +35. Stock suspension/ride height. Planning on a mild drop (1" at the most) but not anytime soon. I guess my question is what size tire would fit an 18×8 +35 wheel the best without rubbing. Im not looking for any sort of stance just a wider tire for grip and a better look.
 
If you're going to run an 18x8.5 the stock 225/40 tire is fine. The widest wheel I'm comfortable putting a 225 on is a 9" wheel. A few people have rubbed a bit with the 225 width and a +35 offset. If you stay at +35 to +45 you should be good. If you're just DD-ing the car a 225/40 on an 8.5" sounds pretty reasonable.
