Sheesh, I have several spare sets of tires that I'm going to be selling! Oh, this is not an offer to sell at this point! So MODS, lay off me.... oh wait...
Too bad you're not local to me. Laff. But, if you're interested in any, just say so and I'll post them in the Marketplace to keep this all on the up and up.
EDIT: Oh, you asked for brands..... well, to be quite honest, tires have gotten so good that it's hard to really pick one particular brand. For example, mentioned my spare sets... add those to what the cars have on at the moment, many of the major brands are represented: Bridgestone (3 sets, 2 models), Sumitomo, Michelin, Kumho... so yeah, hard to pick one but to tell it again, I love my Sumitomo HTR Z-IIIs.

my car doesn't rub at all. Front was never rolled. Just has that oem slight roll they all do. Back is slightly rolled

Think im actually going to go with 18" RPF1's since the wait time on PF07's is 2+ months.
So, RPF1 = 18x9.5+15 front, 18x10.5+15mm back?
will i need to roll fenders with this setup? 100% stock suspension right now.

Almost 100% certainty if you lower the car. 80% certainty with stock ride height. That's speculation though.

my fronts are 18x10.5 on a 275/35 nitto nt's and i have a slight roll up there if that helps. Rears are 285's without a roll but no spacer

"Mere" 9.5 +15 with 275 on the backend and I bump a bit with modest lowering. Interesting.
Non-issue now with roll but hmmm.....

I have Continental Extreme Contact DWS 275/40-18” tires on the rear mounted on 18x9.5” (offset 15mm) Enkei Tenjin Wheels with a 0.6” (14mm) drop (Tein S-Tech springs), and I don’t rub.
I think that part of the reason I’m not rubbing is that the Continental DWS tires have a less-wide tread than most 275 mm tires. For example, the 275mm Continental DWS tires have the same tread width as the 165mm Continental DWS tires. That means the tire may “pull-in” more at its outer diameter, and thus lessening the tendency to rub under suspension compression.
Here are a couple of pictures that might support my point.

Why - I like the nylon ones better because when they get stuck to the hub (and they always do, no matter how much cleaning and pre-lubing them one does and they still stick even when one changes their wheels out as often as I do.), the nylon ones are easier to get off with a small screwdriver to prise it off because the inevitable corrosion doesn't bond with nylon like it does with aluminum).
Personal pref.
