how tight/loose would these tires fit these wheels?

TIRES: 3 are Bridgestone Potenza's and the other a Fuzion ZRi. Fronts are 225/40R18 and Rears are 255/35R18. Fuzion is a front tire.

WHEELS: 18" staggered Sportmax 502Size: 2 Front Rims are 18x8.5 about 2" Lip. About 26.0 lbs eaSize: 2 Rear Rims are 18x9.5 about 3" Lip. About 25.5 lbs eaOffset: +35mm

So basically...how would these used tires fit on these ebay wheels?

sounds like a pretty square set-up, no stretch at all. I'd recommend going with a 245/35 in the rear's instead of a 255

your front tires will have a slight stretch on them and your rears are pretty much going to be square. I run Nitto555's 225/35R18 on a 18X9+20 in the fronts and that is a pretty good stretch. I also run Nitto555's 255/35R18 in the rear on 18X10 +18 rims. These are installed on my S14 kouki right now but had to do a fender roll in the rears. Let me know if you want to see pics.

I have Fuzions on my 200SX and I like them a lot, I haven't really experienced much bad about them, they are a good all weather summer.

This wouldn't be stretched at all. I am running a 225 tire on my 18x9 in the front and it is barely stretched.

I run the same size tire on my car with the same width and if you look at the tire from the front, the rim is way wider than the tire. Also in your pic, that looks like a good stretch to me rather then being square. Thats just me though.
