For 17x8.25 +35 or 18x8.75 +35 rims, what tires specs will bring these rims closest to stock dimensions? I see a lot of people running 235/40/18 for the 18" wheels

Well I got my XXRs in the mail today (fedex) and I can't tell you how impressed I am with them.
I immediately threw them in my trunk, which they fit in and headed to discount tire. I hurried home and this is what we're looking at. I love it so much. They fill the fenders SO well. I couldn't be happier. Chilling out on the island :3 A big thank you to NLmotoring.com and discount tire for being awesome.

Thank you! I'm hoping to lower about 1" or so still also. There's a never-ending list of modifications that is slowly coming together.
I had the same struggle, I was leaning towards gold because the bronze wasn't in stock for an extended amount of time. Then, just as I was about to settle for gold the bronze popped back up in stock. I will definitely be cluttering the forum with more pictures! I'm obsessed with these wheels.

anyone know the difference in "concave-ness" between the 17x8.25 +35 and 18x8.75 + 35? is it even noticable?

I can't say for sure, but I'd guess it's a very negligible amount of added concavity. It's only half of an inch.
