What is the most efficient tire size for 18x9.5? By that i mean best overall performance/mpg and doesn't rub.

I'm trying 255 35 18 on all 4. I've seen this run before but it's close. It's going to be tight! But I can swap around all four for tread life.

Just go 265, its cheaper. Its a more popular tire width than 255

Jeez 265 is meaty. I wanna say the avg i see is 255 and 245 is kinda stretching. I would probably go with 255 as well since there is less chance of rubbing and would be a little bit lighter.
