i have 18x9.5 35mm offset in the back with 245/40/18 on them and i am going to order 265/35/18 for these rims, but i am afraid of rubbing. i wish the offset was different on my rims so they did not stick out so far. the 245's are too small for the 9.5 inch rim. ill probably have to roll the fenders for the 265/35/18's to fit. what do u think?

its really all depends on the offset of the rims, which will tell how far they will stick out causing rubbing.

Can anyone tell me if the 275's will be an issue? All four wheels are 38 offset.

No 275's won't give you a rubbing issue. I have the RB springs (about a .5" drop) and 265's on a 9.5" rim. They actually look narrow on my rim. if I had to do it over I would've gone for the 275's on a 9.5" rim (on a 9" it might be pushing it, might want to go with a 265). Only time rubbing comes into play is if you get springs that drop your car more than 1".
