Default 18x8(F)/18x9(R) +36 Tire Sizes

Hey guys, I've been doing some searching.

I bought some 18x8 and 18x9 wheels that are +36 all around that should be here at the end of the week.

Found some 18x9.5's and some 18x8 and 18x9's with higher offset and certain people saying they only have rolled their fenders or whatnot.

My thoughts... it will probably need a roll in rear+tab relocation , and maybe a roll in front?

I was initially thinking I could maybe get away with a 225/40/18 in front and 255/35/18 in rear but I'm starting to think that the car may have to sit higher than I want so I'm thinking a 215/40/18 in front and a 235/40/18 in rear or maybe a 235/35 or 245/45 in rear?

Opinions? Suggestions. Thank you in advance. Pictures would help to of anyone who has a very very similar setup. I'm not looking for any 8.5's or 9.5" people because obviously the tire sizes will stretch differently on different width wheels.

your going to be shocked when you put those wheels on buddy... if you want anything more then a slight drop your going to have to roll and pull front and rear to fit those. If you want to stay with just a roll/ bumper tab relocate front and back ... moderate drop and stretched tire like a 225 in the rear and a 205 up front.

You 100% sure about the pull both in front and back? This guys is the only other car that I found with similar offsets (+38) and I don't believe his are pulled, I'm just not sure that I want to run as fat of tires as he is (235F/255R).

He also said this though "cars at stock height with no fender mods" and those are 17s with some fattt sidewall'd tires in rear. (255/45)

I guess I'll find out once I'm done rolling my fenders tomorrow and getting the wheels on Friday.

Also I'm planning on it being camber'd like -2 in front -3.5 in rear.
