Sedan rear tire fitment - will 255/40/18 on 18x9.5 +35 fit?
Hey guys,
I'm looking at a set of Enkei PF01 for my sedan, 18x8.5+30 for fronts, 18x9.5+35 for rears. They're currently wearing a set of worn down Mich PSS in 245/40 and 265/40 respectively.
I'm lowered on 350z H-techs with -2 camber all around. I've got 25mm (1") spacers mounted with my 18x7.5+45 OEM wheels, wearing 235/45/18. This setup fits just fine and looks nice.
Question is - will the new setup run into any fitment issues? If my math checks out, I think the fronts will be just fine. The rears are theoretically supposed to extend outward the same amount as my spaced setup, but the inside will be 5mm more inbound than the stocks. This is where I'm a little worried about the tire or wheel contacting the dampers in motion.
I'd appreciate any feedback from sedan drivers with aggressive setups. Mods - if you don't mind waiting a couple days before moving this to the wheels/tire section that would be great, there isn't a lot of traffic there in general and even fewer sedan drivers. I've searched but didn't come up with any direct answers. Thanks in advance!
Edit: My title was wrong, but the body of the text was correct. I'm curious if 265/40/18 will fit on the rear on a 18x9.5+35 wheel.

265/40/18 on a 18x8.5 +33 fits. at stock height no issues.
Lowered on coils, i had to roll the fenders slightly. It does stick out a hair but proper -2 camber should take care of that for a nice flush/meaty look.

245/35/19 on 8.5 +35
I'm thinking about going similar but not 9.5 in the back. Could anyone tell me if I could tuck on the front and also if they will clear the spindle? And if I should just go 255, I'm scared then they definitely won't clear.
