Default What tire size do i need?

I recently purchased my Rota D2s 18x8 & 18x9. I have a 1.5 inch drop all around and i was wondering which tire sizes are best to get to keep the rubbing to a minimum. I was thinkin 255/35/18 in the rear and 215/35/18 in front? What do you guys think.

I already searched for this but everyone has a diff drop and tire size and couldnt get an exact answer.

May want to go with a 225 up front keep the stagger a little more equal. Most people go with a 225 to 245 or 255 stagger. You might get some more push with a setup like that but that also depends on what you like.

I dont know about rubbing but check the offsets and the overal diameter it should work

There is a dedicated Tire forum on this site..... I hope you realize that this is probably not the best forum for the thread.
