Tire specs for Wedssport tc105x 18x9.5

Hey everyone, I have a couple of questions about tires.

I just purchased a set of Wedssport tc105x 18x9.5 +45 and will also be installing coilovers. Right now I'm looking at getting 255/35/18 tires. How much different would those feel than something else like 245/40/18? I daily drive my car with the occasional autox.


Also, if I go with the 255/35/18 setup on coilovers would I have to worry about rub at all? I might be dropping it 1-inch max with minimal camber, but I want to be able to turn the wheel all the way with no rub.

I have the same exact wheel and tire specs albeit with a different wheel and the only time I experienced rubbing (I think?) was launching from a stop sign with a set of 4 wheels weighing the rear down. I’m thinking maybe the extra weight and a hard launch made the rear squat enough to rub? I’m lowered 1.5”

Are you on coils or springs?

@kyto31 did you have any trouble with these rubbing anywhere? With that high of an offset, I thought there might be a possibility of them rubbing the tie rod at full lock.
