First off, go with a 35 series tire (40 is for a monster truck).

With this setup you might need to roll your fenders but I would go with the +15 in the front and the +12 in the back.

40 sidewall is pretty ideal if you are on stock ride height, but you aren't, so take his advice (offset advice is spot on as well. I think anything higher then +20 looks bad)

i would look at wheeldude.com one more time if i were you. 18X9.5 +20 is the most aggressive wheel they offer, some of the other offsets are for 17's or 4X114.3 which is not the right bolt pattern unless you have a 240. the 9.5 +20 with a 15mm spacer in the rear will give you a slightly more aggressive stance than everyone running volks with 9.5 +22F and 10.5 +22R just to give you an idea.

Several of the choices listed obviously will not work. How come you cannot figure this out?

i'm sure their(not there) website may offer many sizes not available to the public, i notice you cannot add any to a shopping cart or purchase from the site did you? try to contact Cosmic Marketing Corp. their north american distributor? Dan at http://www.wheeldude.com/wordpress/ will explain to you just because a wheel may be available to the european market doesn't mean it will see our shores, if so you can try here http://rarerims.co.uk/ but goodluck

Please don't try to help out. Do you even know what an "aspect Ratio is"?

OP, actually if you want to run a semi stretched tire setup with 9.5's from Rota , get 245/40 front and 245/45 rear and the lowest offset available and spacers.

I ran 35 series tires which suffered minimal to no performance loss and I would say it fit the wheels perfectly from a visual standpoint.

Hey man, 40 series is probably best for that size, I'd stay away from a 35 ratio in that size. Take note, on a 9.5 in wheel a 245 will be strecthed. Take a look at my profile's albums and you'll see what my front looks like with a 9.5 in wheel and 245/40/18 tire. I like the look but it may not be enough wheel protection for you. And as previously stated contact the Wheeldude they have a guy on the forums that knows Z fitments pretty good and he is not one to BS you for a sale. Also I think they get offsets that are not on that Rota website. I have a 22 or 20 offset (can't remember) I it fits pretty good with no issues.

Nothing wrong with Rota wheels. Go with what you think is the most appealing and what makes you most comfortable that's within your budget.


http://www.net-comber.com/tirecalc.html

Use this calculator to find the ideal combination of tire width vs aspect ratio. Input your OEM specifications on the left and the new tires on the right... You want to try to match the new tire specifications as close to the OEM specification as possible or else your car's speedometer is going to be inaccurate, and your odometer will be slightly off.

Thought I'd +1 on the fact that P45Rs only come in +20 and that is their most aggressive setup...
