Full of tire questions latley huh man, lol. You can fit 285s all around but thats the biggest you can go on a 9.5 inch rim. To my knowledge Nittos run small anyway.

i have 275/45/17 on front and due to being lowered, i scrub the firewall a bit while turning. just enough to kiss the fender liner though.

thats essentially what i'm running but 17. im lowered on stranos and just barely rub when i turn the wheel. barely.
you will be fine since you arent lowered.
you could probably do the 285's and be fine. just gonna look bulged and funky IMO.

i may actually go with the 285/35/18 i heard the overall height is similar to stock and it wont throw off speedo much and since nittos tend to be more narrow than other tires i think that will be fine

Ya dont go with a 40 sidewall. 35 is the perfect size for 18s
