Wheel Fitment Questions

Seriously looking at wheels and need some opinions on fitment issues.

I am doing either 18x8.5" et42 or 18x9.5" et40 (I favor the 9.5 for the more concave look)

I want to run 235/40 tires if possible

I am on H&R Springs and I want to be as flush as possible, no poke, no stupid stretch.

I currently also have the ECS flush kit which I know I will not be able to use any more.

I am going with 3SDM Style 6's

The 9.5 will poke in the front and most likely rub with 235 tires. Stick to the 8.5 all around and that's a pretty safe fitment.

Ok, thanks. I have been trying to do research. I also found that I'd be better off with a 235 on an 8.5 wheel.

I also thought of running a staggered setup but found the rear is harder to fit than the front.

I did, I thought there was a large thread on this but it didn't pop up
