Option 1: For us, compensating with a smaller sized tire, i.e. 245/35/18 or 245/40/18 allows 18x9.5 +40 to work on the street. This is a mild-stretch on an 18x9.5 width tire, but in our opinion it is still usable. We would not go any narrower than a 245 sized tire on an 18x9.5, as the stretch would become substantial if we went any smaller, leaving the inner and outer lip of the wheel dangerously exposed. Contrarily, a 255 or a 265 section tire would cause minor rubbing or require cutting of the rear fender at certain ride heights or full compression, unless further suspension modification is performed (See Option 2 below) or fender modification (See Option 3). We do indeed have clients running this size and they have not cut the rear fender flare. It has been reported that they have not experienced any rear rubbing issues when taking the aforementioned measures of compensating with a smaller sized tire (245/40/18). This is likely the most cost-effective route.
Just to confirm, with a 18x9.5+40 and a 245/35/18 tire, it will fit without trimming anything AND without rear upper camber arms?

Last but not least, can you point me in the right direction for the recaro mounts as well as base sliders? From my research, Recaro offers the rails and side mount but not the base.
