I run 265/35/18's and 18x9.5 wheels.

Pretty big combo by most people's standards.

What is your offset, tire model, suspension settings, any fender work, and any rubbing?

Depends a bit on your priorities. I can recommend my setup as I did build it with shitty roads/parking garages in mind http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...&postcount=210

Specs here http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22222

you can go wider, and you can go lower, however you will trade in "usabillity" with it.

+40
Michelin PSS
RCE Tarmac Zeros, ~1.5" drop
Front and rear fenders rolled.
Rubbing only during very, very hard compression and cornering on driver's side rear.
