I wouldn't mind trying either or
Good question, our 18x11" ET44 in comparison to the stock 19x10" ET40 rear wheels would extend by 9mm towards the rear fenders, and there would be 17mm less clearance towards the suspension / inner fender liners.

We have yet to properly test this fitment, but it does look promising on paper. 285/35-18, 295/35-18 and 305/35-18 would indeed be the tires to test. We will keep the community posted as we learn more.
