Default HELP!! Tires size!!!!

I am planning to buy one set of 18" wheels for my S2000, but I looked at "tire rack" They said the size will be 255/35/18 at the rear. Is it any difference sizes I can choose for the rear wheels?
THX!!

General rule of thumb:

+50 offset on the rim... 245/40/18 max size 8.5"rim needed

+55 offset... 255/35/18 max size 9.0" needed... 9.5" is better

+60 offset... 265/35/18 max size 9.5" min good

Otherwise your tires will rub and you won't be able to lower it more than 1/2"
