18x9 Gramlight 57pros and 265/35

hey guys i decided to get a set of Gram light 57pro's on my Tarmac Black EVO.. Ive read some people have fit a 265/35 tire on a 9" rim.. sounds perfect to me but anyone know the right offset to go with, heres my offset options: +12, 22, 38, 40


also anyone know the difference in the 57pro and the 57F pro's?


thanks

i believe that the 57pros are cast and the 57f pros are forged.

You are not going to get a 265 tire on an Evo without some fender mods

255/40/18 would be too tall 26.03"
stock 235/45/17 are 25.3"
255/35/18 are a tad shorter 25.02"

Widest I would go is the same I do:

Volk GT7 18X9.0 ET29 255/35/18.

Perfect fitment and no rubbing issues.
