Can someone recommend me a good setup since I am kind of stuck with the 18x9.5 +35 wheels since I already bought them. Maybe I need coils?

Thank you,

I can't say for sure, but I've got about 2-3mm of clearance running 17x9 +38 wearing 245/40/17 on TRD springs (roughly 1 inch drop). Even with the additional space your offset provides versus mine, I think the additional diameter may rub. It's going to be pretty close I think.

I used to have a staggered setup with the front running 18x8.5 +33 wearing 235/40/18 and I didn't rub. You've got an extra inch of wheel that'll pull the tire closer to the strut and a less aggressive offset.

My recommendation for you would be to bite the bullet and get some good coilovers. Then run 245 or 255 width tires in a square setup on those wheels and enjoy.
