I know there are a million threads, but this is very specific.
My rims are VMRs 18 inch back 9.5 inch et33 and from 8.5 inch ET 35 What tires sizes do I need to not f up my AWD system? |

Are you dropped?
235/40/18 265/35/18 235/40/18 275/35/18 The 275 rear is a closer match but the 265 works too. Depends on the look you're going for, ride height, etc. EDITED for 18s.

We would typically recommend 225/40/18 F and 255/35/18 R on this setup.
I can't guarantee you won't run into any issues with rubbing on your current ride height since there are so many variables involved (alignment, camber, tire brand etc). However, we do have customers with lowered suspension running these specs that haven't reported any issues.

.. "dropped as fuck" doesn't mean much to me, lmao. But +1 to VMR's suggestion. You'll get a bit more room in the fender wells.

Your ride height responses are extremely vague. If I were you and wanted to get input from others I would share fender to center of the hub measurements.
