I have 265/35/18 in my rear tires...that's what I would put to prevent rubbing, but then again, my rear wheels are 18x9.5 +25 offset.

Thanks guys....I don't like those wheels anyway...the previous owner did. I want to put a mesh type on instead..I was just thinking i could get the tires before. Since the car isn't dropped...I didn't want too low of a profile with too much space in the well...
