Question what size rubbers for 18x8.5 18x9.5?

Hello all,

I have a set of avant garde m310 matte black for my steel grey w204 (the wheels are ok nice, but i find them a tad too shiny/gloss in real person). Just waiting til summer to mount them. Haven't bought tires yet.

The rear offset is 50+ and front is 45+
I was thinking to run 265/35/18 rear and 235/40/18 coz that would allow curb rash protection.. or maybe 255 and 225 for the looks.

What do you guys think?

that wouldnt allow any curb rash protection, you would have to get bead guard tires and run them 245/40/18 and 285/35/18 for any rubber to stick out, even then ur not gonna avoid rash if you hit a curb, its rubber it bends/flexes. Just go w 235/265 or 275 if you dont want stretch in your rear rubber and be careful when parking
