245/35/18 vs 245/40/18 vs 255/35/18 ON 18x9 +35

Okay, the wheels I'm looking to purchase are 18x9. I'll be running the stock suspension for now but will likely upgrade to something mild like RCE down springs or the like later on.

Anyways, I'm curious to know what size I can fit on my FRS. I really don't care about a larger diameter throwing off my speedometer. I'll just compensate for it.

What I'm really after is if I could fit a 245/40/18 all-around without issues. Will they be too tall? The car could honestly use more tire to fill up the wheel gap. However, I just don't want any rubbing issues or whatever.

I almost forgot, the wheels are going to be 18x9 with a +35 offset. What do you guys suggest would be a hassle free tire size to go along with the stock suspension? ...RCE yellows or Eibachs down the road with camber bolts...

Post pictures if you can.

THANKS!
