Wedssport SA-55M question

Recently I bought some wheels from Touge Factory and wanted to know what tires would go great with these wheels. With the help of some friends I have a general idea of what I'm looking into but wanted a second opinion. Wheels are Wedssport SA-55M BRM in 18x10 +18

Most "will these tires and/or wheel fit?" threads come down to, at some point, how much the owner is willing to work on the fenders. I'd go ahead and answer this now, rather than waiting for someone other than me to raise the question.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I would love not to have to roll my fenders but if I have to I will.

i have the same exact wheels except they are the black and blue ones. the tire im running is 265/35/18
im also lowered alot on coilovers. maybe 1/2 inch wheel gap. they rubbed ALOT! to the point where you would drive over a sewer cap and it would rub. it ate alot of my tire
so i rolled them and it still rubs occasionally in the fronts. i will be pulling fenders this weekend so i can lower it more

anyways, if your lowered id say you will need to roll them

this is the kind of information I was looking for, thanks for the good advice. Maybe others with the same wheels will chime in.

Obviously it seems the fenders will need to be rolled with any sort of decent drop. For those of you with this rim how much camber is required to avoid rubbing?

I'm torn between the 18X9 and 18x10. I know the 18X10 will look better but is it worth the extra work? I don't want to run excessive camber since it's my daily driver.

I am lowered on swift springs and I only gave the rear a mild roll. I ran my wheels on 275 35 18 and haven't had one issue to date.
