I'm Kind of sick of having spacers so I was thinking of buying 18x8.5 +35 rims for the front and 18x9.5 +38 rims in the back. Could anyone please tell me what size tires what fit this setup and be able to clear everything including the stock struts. (Also if I will still need spacers)
Thanks!

Tires ->
Front 245/35/18 // Rear 265/35/18 this will look about flush with the wheel
Front 225/40/18 // Rear 245/35/18 This will have a light stretch.
Both will clear without spacers, the front will poke 3-5mm (see the pictures in my journal -> Link in signature) rear is about flush

am i asking for the impossible here? consensus?

18x9 +42 front will rub. Using spacers with that size is not advisable, also, if you add 12mm spacer, it will bring it to an +30, this means the front will poke about 8-10mm outside fender. Also, that meaty look on stock suspension is not looking good in my opinion, as it gives the car an off road truck look -> Done it myself
For reference -> Check out the following pictures, and add another 5mm to the poke, this is about what your setup will look like

Need to know the offset to answer it corretly. However, 10" wide wheel will doubtfully fit in front (or poke alot). Also, there is no 240/35/18, so it would rather be 245/35/18. Also, 245 wide tire on a 10" wheel (so 254 wide wheel) will be stretch, and not advisable handling wise. If you're into hellaflush, I'm not here to judge, go for it then.
