Will It Fit Thread

What tires can i go widest with? i am planning on switching im running on 225 front and 235 back. i was planning on putting my 235 up front and since my treads are almost gone up front change them but what can i get? is 235 front and 255 back good? will it rub? i want to run a setup so later on i can get a fat offset and make my car look flush
soo i've got a question
I'm currently running:
18x8.5 +38 on 225/40, dropped with about 13.25 inches from center of wheel to ground (1.2-1.5ish drop, don't know what stock was)
Fitment is okay, however I'm starting to think about spacers.
I'm running a fair amount of camber (-1.3f, -1.8r) so it's not as flush as some of the other pictures of the same setup.
Any recommendations on the correct spacer setup without a need for a roll? I rarely carry more than one passenger, so rubbing with a full car is not an issue
I was thinking 10mm up front, 15mm or 20mm in the rear... comments?
and semi off topic question:
Here are my wheels:

I'm thinking a 10mm and 15mm spacer with its own studs normally wouldn't clear most rims (since the studs the spacers attach to might be too long without shaving)... however, i see a lot of 5zigens have 10 holes. are those extra 5 (obviously not for mounting) for spacer compatibility?

Just go to an offset calculator and try to copy 9.5 +34ish in the rear (if you have rolled fenders +38ish if not) and 8.5 +30ish (a 10 mm would be fine though) in the front. That should look better and fit fine.
just wondering if anyone would chime in saying i can go even lower without a roll.
OK:
FN01R-C
17x10 +35 with 275/30/17
Will have:
-S-techs
-D-Specs (full stiff)
fenders have not been rolled yet
I know +25 has run into problems, but what about +35?

I'm guessing you said 275/30/17 on purpose instead of 275/40/17? I'm willing to bet you will have to roll the fenders but it will work out in the end. I'm pretty sure a couple people in the 5zigen thread ran that set up btw.
will these fit on my stock 8? its not lowered. maybe with some low pro tires?

i knew a friend that put some rims on his car which were fine.. but only when he was in it alone.. would that probably be the same case for me? i have sport suspension and it is pretty stiff though..
final check on offset
I'm doing a final check on the offset before I put in my order, I'm more concern on the offset for the rear without rolling when car is loading with passengers and audio equipments. Originally I have picked +42 for the rear but I'm having 2nd thought. I think front is ok and it is the lowest offset they have.
For the tire, is 255/35/19 too wide for the front? I don't want any heavy feeling during turn or make the steering feel heavier.
F - 19x8.5 +35 (255/35/19)
R - 19x9.5 +35 or +42 or +45 (255/35/19)
