245/35/18 in the back will be ok with some camber, won't rub, but the front, you will rub with the same size tires...if you don't want to roll, I guess you can go with 215/40/18, but it will be stretched.

Thank you very much. By the way, is 8.5 in the rear enough? I plan to get a SOS supercharger too

Oops my bad, 245/35/18 and 215/40/18. 8.5 in the back is ok, but 9 seems to be the standard.

I wouldn't run anything smaller than 225 on a 8.5inch wide wheel.

Maybe i should just go with TE37 17" 7.5 +40 8.5 +40 with 215/45/17 and 245/40/17. What do you guys think? I'm installing kw v3 suspension.
