Let's start with the rear... 18x9.5 ET58 will work back here but with the wider 265/35-18 tire you will need to either run a 5mm spacer for additional inner clearance or trim your shock dust boot and fender liner slightly. Tire models that run wider will require more aggressive trimming to prevent rubbing. Alternatively, you can run 255/35-18s in the rear for an easier fit.
For the front: I would not recommend a 225/35-18 for the front. This isn't tall enough in most cases for this application. A 225/40-18 would be a better fit, but I would only run a 225 in the front if you are running a 255/35-18 in the rear. If you are going to go with a 265/35-18 in the rear, I would recommend a 235/40-18 tire in the front to better match the wider rear tire.
Depending on the tire model and ride height of the car, you may need some additional negative camber up front with a 235/40-18 and the ET38 wheels.

Wow , Thank you for the detailed response I really appreciate it! Was only considering this specific setup because I saw it pop up on my local marketplace, but I’ll hold off. Thanks!
