Well, with that offset, you will need to mess with your camber; even if you try to flush it with a smaller width tires, you will eat up your tires.
Well my fenders are already rolled. Rolled them for safe measure with my old wheels. and I plan on running a 2 degrees of camber all the way around. Tires aren't a huge concern because I get deals on them. That being said I don't want to go through them at a stupid rate. With all this said will it work or should I pass it up and go with something less aggressive?
If this is too aggressive what would you recommend getting? Ideally I want a 18x9.5 and run a 255/35 and be as flush as possible but still be able to rail the **** out of the car on a back road.

255 is pretty meaty. I ran 245/45 on a +38 offset with my 18x9.5 wheels and I was rubbing at the rear(fenders aren't rolled) and ate up my front fender-well liners and had a bad front tires camber wear. If you're considereing that wheels and tire size(18x9.5-255/35), you may have to get a set of wheels with less offset, around +35 to +40. Below is a member here with a +40. Mine are back on stock height with the bronze wheels.

I am looking at buying 18x10.5 with +35 offset, I assume I will have to do some fender rolling. I am looking at 265-285 35/18. Any idea how much work it will take to minimize tire rub. The car is not lowered yet, but will be in the foreseeable future... I don't wanna do any of those whack camber adjustments. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
225/45/18
R18 8.5J 40 with 25mm spacers (or which spacers better to get for flush or stance look?)
That's stock size(except the offset), but a 15 mm wheel spacers will be just right.

That offset will make your wheel poke out, you'd have to do more than just pulling the fenders out.

What tire sizes will I need?
235/55/18 I think is stock wheels for CX-5s. And yes, it will rub. Ideally, you want to stay around "35 - 40" sidewall profile; may be "45" if the tires' width is 225 or 235.
My current tires are 225/45 ZR 18 95Y , and really worn out
I was thinking of getting 255/40ZR18/XL99(Y) same brand & tire : Michelin Pilot Super Sport
Do I have to account for the rim width? How do I do that?
I want to know if they would fit the car correctly.
Also, doing the math, the current tires are 101.25 tall , and the new ones would be 102 tall.
How would this affect the ride or speedometer?
And can I do the change without any other impacts?
I'm also thinking this would help in not getting the rim so scratched.
