I am no expert, but I run a 18x8.5 +30 and have no issues except for I need a slight rear fender roll. I am also lowered about and inch though. I run the stock size 245's on the also. I think you would be fine on 245's if your not lowered, and if you are lowered you would definatly be fine with a rear fender roll which is super easy to do!
 
what are you trying to do with it? willing to do fender work? suspension setup?

my '10 hatch, lowered on tein mono flex, 255/40/18 t1r, rolled front and rear, rear still needs a bit of work, rubs on really big dips. this setup rubbed on the rear when i hit big dips. it's dropped a good amount, maybe 1 finger gap to the tir all around. so it really depends on what you want to do, you can go with a narrower tire.

Yeah, just installed RCE yellows. Will eventually put on a set of coilovers. I don't mind doing a slight roll, but nothing too extreme.

God, your car is gorgeous! What size wheels do you have? I was thinking i'd probably end up going with 255's...
 
they are 18x9 +35 advan rg-d's, you might be able to put some 255/35/18's on there but i wanted a bit more tire incase i ran into any big potholes
 
i'm running 245/40/18 on my rota gforce 18x9 +30 and even with rear fenders rolled, tires rub when I have people in the back seat..
 
you can make it work, but if you want to do less work then go with the 9"
 
it would be a pull and some extra camber all around.
 
I would imagine that the difference in concavity between a 9 and 10 inch wide wheel is minimal.

hes mine i should have them mounted within the month i hope, There is a big difference between how concave the 9's and 10's are.. The 18x9's are a FR faced wheel and the 18x10's are a RR faced wheel

18x9's

Damn, well I went with 18X9's. Was on the fence, and finally decided with 9's. Hope I don't regret it once I get them put on, just didn't want to really have to do a pull and a lot of work to get them to fit right.

Anyways, just got them in the mail today and was gonna try and have them put on tonight! Concave looks better with the 10's in the pics. I'll see how they look in person. I don't plan on keeping this wheels forever, and can see myself someday going extreme, but just didn't want to go that far already.

They definitely look and feel bad *** in person. Soo light!
