Planning on getting 18x10 +25 wheels all around in the near future. Does anyone know what the widest tire I can use before rubbing becomes an issue? I’m currently on stock suspension and don’t plan on lowering it for quite some time.

I believe I covered everything in that stickied post. Like I said I have no idea what to do with tire size hence me asking. Car is completely stock...I’m looking at +25 offset and 18x10 wheels in the front and the back, I don’t want to roll my fenders.

No problem fit with those offsets.

You could go square as well. 255 or 265/40-18 BUT, if you have VDC, recommend the stagger sizes to keep it happy. People run square all the time with no issues but not something I'd chance. Easier to just go with what works for sure.

I would do 275/35-18 all around
or
275/35-18 front and 275/40-18 rear

I would stick with a 40 series sidewall, as a 35 will leave a bit of wheel gap, especially in the rear on an 18 inch wheel. Also, a 245 or 255 width tire will have a 'stretched' look on a 10" wide wheel.

You could likely even run a 295/40 on the rear without rubbing if you wanted to, on stock suspension. But I wouldn't go wider than 265 with a 40 series sidewall up front.

So up front what will have more gap, a 275/35-18 or 245/40-18 ?

depending on the tire, those would be extremely close.

Yeah the difference between those specific sizes, would probably be unnoticeable.

But if using the 275/35/18 up front, I would think you'd want to use the same diameter in the rear. So at stock height even a 295/35/18 will have less sidewall height than say a 275/40/18, equaling more wheel gap.

Again, it might be unnoticeable with tires that 'run' wider/bigger than others.

I thinking about going with 255/40/18 on front and a 275/40/18 in the back. Will I have to remove the fender liners?

I actually have those exact sizes in Michelin PSS's (runs slightly larger than some other tires), and they fit almost perfect with +12 offset wheels, and lowered. So you shouldn't have any trouble fitting them, and you can keep the fender liners.
