I'm considering Work Emotion CR Kais which I know I will run 18x8.5+20 with 245/40s and 18x9.5+20 with 274/40s.

However, I am also looking into TSW Interlagos in matte black.

They also have a 18x8.5+20 for the front and 2 options for a staggered rear setup:

18x9.5+32
18X10.5+27

The 9.5 is more conservative and tire combos would be a little cheaper. I'd be pushing the wheels about 17mm further outward over stock ('03 18x8 touring 6 spokes) with the 9.5s. The Works would be closer to 29mm.

If I went with the 18x10.5+27 I could run 285/35s with 255/35s up front. The 10.5s would push the wheels out 35mm.

I'm not interested in rolling my fenders. Thoughts?

These with 255/40 front and 275/40 rear , no rub at all

Thanks!

Plenty of selection in that size. But will 275s look a little stretched on a 10.5" rim? I am not into the stretched look.

I could also go 265/35 and 285/35 but my sidewall heights will be lower than stock and that means more exposed wheel well. My suspension is stock so I don't know if I want to go that route.

Either tire combo works well. The combo I mentioned has a slight stretch, very slight stretch.

Go with terrasmak's suggestion. You'll get a bit more ride comfort on the 40 series setup as well.
