U can fit with massive camber. I have 18x9.5 +38 with 265 tyres, it right on the edge of the fender. Narrow boday has 20mm less clearance. U will need much smaller tryes to run them

No I haven't ordered rubber just yet.

I've only made the order for the wheels which are 18x9.5 +40 5x100.

What tire's would you recommend 245-255?

Will anything lower will needed to be stretched?

I'm new to this...

Just did more research found it would be more appropriate to fit 235/40/18. But hopefully if its possible to fit 245/35/18 I would prefer this.

As narrow body has 20mm less clearance. U will need, 265-20x2=225 tyre. But that's not safe at all.

My 2c is camber arm/bolt and cheap symmetrical 235, or swap for sth smaller.

Subscribed. Make sure you keep us all updated on your 'fitment'.

FYI: I have 225s on an 8.5 rim and even that has a little stretch. Would be horrific on a 9.5 rim.
