18x10.5 tire size

Hey guys....
I will be buying my wheels next week, and I am unsure of what tire size I should be running.
I was thinking of running 255/45....not that knowledgeable on tire sizes and whatnot. If you can give me some input that would be great.
Keep in mind, I will not be running camber nor stretch look, don't like that. Also, I am running widebody.
The wheels will be 18x10.5 +15 and will be running 15mm spacers too

35 series, nothing else.
265 or bigger up front and 265/275/285 in the back.

How much extra clearance will you have with widebody?

My wild guess for your wheels are Enkei RPF1's, if so then they should clear for 255s doesn't matter what the coilovers are.

Since everyone is posting numbers with their opinions and no pictures here you go.

265/35 on a 18x10.5


275/35 on a 18x10.5


and 285/35 on an 18x10.5

It's generally more wise to find a tire size and find an appropriate wheel width
