265/35/18 on a 10" rim has basically no stretch.
two of the wheels below are 18x10 and use 265/35/18 and look like they are a bit stretch. would a 18x9.5 wheel be "safer" with 265/35/18?

Most 265/35-18 tires are approved for widths of 9.0-10.5 inches. Tires typically look "normal" in the middle of the approved range, "stretched" at the high end, and "bulging" at the low end. So I would expect them to look best on either an 18x9.5 or an 18x10, with no problems on either width.two of the wheels below are 18x10 and use 265/35/18 and look like they are a bit stretch. would a 18x9.5 wheel be "safer" with 265/35/18?
big time rub is subjective...My 235/40/17 front ra1's rub the inner fender well at 3/4 lock,but have polished the aluminum to a nice shiny sheen thus freeing up 1-2 mm....see it takes care of itself:biggrin:
I also noticed that some tires come in 215/45/17. Any reason we shouldn't/can't use a 45 series tire?
Why would you? It only has a higher sidewall insuring that you rub more. Plus it throws off your TCS unless you really go tall in the rear which is already taller than the front.

3/4 lock? LOL... this car already has the turning diameter of a Peter Pan bus.
It sounds like when you go 235 you gotta get a wider fender. And I am wondering why you haven't already if you like the 235 so much. So what are you running?

yikes I forgot I removed those condensor shrowds years ago....but yes Dave a spacer would create interference with the outer fender lip
I guess i could but I'm happy with the balance of the 235/275 combo.I am rather inept at slick sizing since I have never used them.So then you could use wider fenders. I mean it's a lot of work but I guess it can be done. I see why you don't bother if it's just for track shoes. Now what happens with Hoosiers? What sizes do they come in for up front?
