My new, just released, Bronze Konig Ampliform flow formed 18x9.5 +35 wheels came in Monday. Picked up a fresh set of 245/40zr18 Maxxis Victra VR1 tires from Maxxis USA yesterday and mounted the wheels. They look great, and wheels alone weigh just over 19lbs. They just barely clear the stock brembo calipers and I will be using 2mm or 3mm spacer to clear the AP Racing calipers when they arrive next week. Will be at Road Atlanta for a couple of sessions this afternoon. The front fits fine with the camber, and 265/35 should be good as well when it gets here. 245 may rub in the rear.

Well 265/35 on stock ride height rub?

I am not OP but I asked the same question. Yes, it will rub. You need camber adjustment. Some people claim that the rubbing isn't bad, but I wanted zero rub so I did not get these wheels.
There’s no reason it would rub at stock height. Will probably rub lightly if you’re lowered, run a skinnier 265 (like a firehawk 500) or go 255 to be extra safe.

I'm just passing on what I was told by the OP.

Anyone tried these at stock ride height and running 265/35ZR-18 MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4S?

I know my current setup works great with Motegi 18x9.5 265/35 PS4S don’t see why it wouldn’t be identical.

what is the offset of your Motegi? most I have seen are +45 I believe. +45 265 will fit all around on stock height without problem, or even on swift springs. 265 on +35 will not fit in rear without rubbing if cornering hard and front will be very tight as well....best to add camber to be sure no rubbing.

+45 for the Motegi. I’ve spoken to two members with +35 and stock height which they confirmed no rubbing but neither did track duty. Not sure how hard they have pushed. Would be safe to add some camber to confirm that the wheel doesn’t get rubbed with weight in it or hard cornering
