I am trying to decide on 235x35 or 245x35 for either a 18x8.5 or 18x9.5 wedssport sa-10r wheels.

which would be a better fit for either the 18x8.5 or 18x9.5?
i'd imagine 40 or 45 would be too much tire or too meaty?
I'd prefer to NOT have the tire stretched or have TOO much tire on the wheel if possible

this would be my daily driver and I am planning on having a dedicated track set of wheels/tires w/o tpms.

I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to all the equipment stuff and am trying to learn everyday so I had some additional questions.

going +1 on my wheels to 18" from the stock 17" will this affect or increase my ground clearance in any way since the wheel/tire diameter is technically larger?

if so, is this the reason why individuals lower their cars to minimize wheel gap? and to make it look better?

question about offset, is it best to keep it close to the stock offset of 48 as possible? the lower the offset number would mean that the tire will stick out more?
being that i am interested in either a 8.5 or 9.5 width for my wheel which is higher than the stock 7 width, i'd imagine keeping it as close to the 48 stock offset would be best to not have the wheel poke out?
the diameter of the wheel doesn't play to the offset as much as it would the width correct?

final question, i plan on running the above setup with everything stock for the time being, will i run into any adverse issues with the car in terms of functionality and reliability? tire wear, wheel/tire rubbing..etc?


thank you everyone in advance, again i am a bit of a novice and trying to learn the best I can.
