HELP

My current set up is listed below. I want to put the widest drag radial/autocross tire possible on the rear. I am willing to roll the rear fenders and use spacers if necessary, spacers will probably only hurt in this situation. What have you guys tried?

Wheels:
VMR V710s
18x8.5 +35
18x9.5 +45
No Spacers

Tires:
Hankook Ventus V12 Evos
225/40/18
255/35/18

Modifications:
Stock Ride Height
Fenders Not Rolled

Notes:
Slight rubbing in front over large bumps

stock ride height, you'll +45 9.5"... i wouldn't go over 255

lowered with 10mm less offset (thinner hubs) AND fairly rolled guards, and i have massive scrub on the rear bumper mount.

+62 offset rear and you'll fit 275-285.

use the 245/40/18 mickey. best tire on the market for 18s, useless to autocross on (sidewall)
