Default will 255/35/18 on a 18x9 +35 fit on the rear if car is slammed

I was wondering if I can go 255/35/18 on a 18x9 +35 if my car is tucked ..I have a 245/40/18 right now and its still scrapping in the back.. rear fenders are rolled

You will need more camber. What are you currently running? Also are your fronts not rolled? At that ride height you should get that done ASAP because you are one turn away from the tire grabbing the fender.

Did you not relocate the rear bumper mount further back? If not, that’s typically where you rub first. But by going off your current fitment, I think your rim is too narrow and high an offset to get 5mm more rubber on the outside to slip past without issue, no matter what camber you run. Your just pushed out too far and you don’t have any sidewall stretch to tuck in and clear as the suspension compresses. If you actually had a wider rim at the same offset, it would give you some more clearance, simply from the top of the tire being pulled in, even though the rim itself would stick out a little more. Either way it’s splitting hairs though, +35 is just about 5mm too aggressive to run on this car if you want to run 255's without rubbing and headaches.
