Default what tire size will fit my vs-xx without a stretch?

I currently have 215/35/18 on my front 18x9.5 +27 vs-xx and 225/35/18 on my rear 18x10.5 +27. I bought these wheels with stretched tires, but I am planning on getting tires that will actually fit instead of dealing with any more of this stretched tires. I'm wondering what would fit the 18x9.5, 18x10.5 +27 wheels?

you'll need wide rear fenders to fit the 10.5 + 27 regardless of tyre size I'm pretty sure... that would be your first issue - Do you have aftermarket body work?

its a matter of what will fit your car.
those wheels can take a 255-35-18 and a 265-35-18 for a perfectly straight sidewall.

Do you have over fenders or pulled front fenders? I imagine how you're going to fit these with "proper" tires on them.

The problem is the offset is too low so you have to stretch tires to make them fit. I'd run 245/35, 285/30 but you would need widebody.

Those rims with that super low off set will only fit properly with a wide body. Correct size tires should be 255/35/18or 245/35/18 for the front and 295/30/18 or 285/30/18 for the rear

I am going widebody in the future and I'm trying to plan ahead. I already have my fenders rolled, pulled, and tab relocate from when I had staggered rpf1; 17x8,17x9+45.

Even with your fenders rolled and pulled there is no way you could fit those rims without stretched tires.

If you are doing a widebody these tire specs should work for you.
