Default What size tires should I be running?

Bear with me here. When I bought the car the previous owner already had Work wheels on it; 18"x8/9 with 235/35 and 265/35 tires on it. Its coming up on time to replace the tires and browsing through here I know these sizes arent right.

Now I dont know what the offsets are bc the stickers have come off the wheels. However, I can tell you that Ive been as low as a one finger gap all around and have never rubbed or scraped the fender liners.

Im currently on swift spec-r springs so theres a 1.25 drop. The rear has a one finger gap and the front is a two finger gap. I want the front gap to be even with the rear and have optimal tire sizes for my size wheels.

Thanks in advance!

Or run 235/40-265/35 If you want to even out your front to rear gap and maintain your current rubber width.

Match them with the 225/40R18 in the front and you are good to go. The diameter is better than what you have had on the car. If I can help with the tires let me know.
