At stock height, you should be fine running 235/40s on your 18x8.5 ET35. If you do lower the car however, I'm betting there'd be some mild rub as I had on dinan springs and 235/40s on 18x8.5 ET35 (ET45+10mm spacer). I eventually rolled my fenders which did help a bit, but then i kept getting more an more aggressive and got camber plates and settled at 235/40 ET25 and -2.2 camber. I was trying to fill out the fender which had a mild pull from the fender roll, but also wanted to push the limits of how far out i could push my wheel and tire without rubbing so that I could workout the sizing required for wider wheels and tires up front.
Now that I'm on Ohlins coilovers and Vorshlag camber plates, there's PLENTY of space now that the height has been raised to a finger gap all around and I'm pretty confident in getting a 18x9 ET32 (ET42+10mm) 255/35 or 18x9.5 ET28 (ET43+15mm) 265/35 up front.
You don't need camber plates to do 265/35 rears? unless I'm misreading that, for reference I've ran 18x9.5 ET48 (ET58+10mm) 265/35 on Dinan springs and had 0 issues.

Thanks for the info! I'm not going to lower it. I'm not sure if i need camber plates for the rears if i go 265s. Currently after as much of an alignment as i could get on stock, my fronts are at L -0.8 and R -1.1 and rears at L&R -1.8
I was really hoping not to have to do anything with plates or spacers though. Pain in the ass if you get a flat cause American Tire will not work on cars with them on. Any thoughts on running 265s in the rears without having spacers or plates?
If i run 235s up front and keep 255s rear, the rears are just gonna look even smaller LOL BTW, my rears are already ET58 Thanks for the help!!
