235/265 8.5 and 9.5 18's

Curious if anyone has a staggered fitment, 8.5/9.5 x 18 with 235/40 on front and 265/35 on the rear.

Especially if you have a 1" drop, I'd love to see some photos to see how well they fit (or don't)

This is also the sizes I consider for the car. I plan to use enkei raijin +45 offset to fit it w/ the current 1" drop. Big tires look good but car will feel a little heavier in gaining few pounds weight !

Thanks guys. I ordered 225/40 and 255/35 for my wheels, and after thinking more about it may want a little more sidewall to soften the ride a touch.

For now I will go with what I ordered, and unless its really too firm, next set I will increase the size.
