8.5" +35 will hit the front coilover.

8" +35 can only be used with 215 width. And that's only with the spring perch set just above the tire's shoulder. The can't be ultimately low for this to work. I used 215/45-17 for perfect oem overall diameter, and excellent tire selection.

they are 18s...i'm think that i have to run a 225/35/18 and 10mm spacer in front?

18x9.5 in the rear should fit fine right?

do you have a jet engine under the hood? why would you want such a wide tire/wheel in the rear?

if the wheel hits the coil, just dial in some positive camber
