I know that 255/35 is stock fitment for the ZHP, but does anyone know if 235/40-18 would rub anywhere (at stock height) with a 18x8.5 +35 square setup?
Thanks!

it shouldn't. depends on the tire though (some are 'squarer' in profile than others), and your alignment.
235/40/18 is 25.4" in diameter, whereas 255/35/18 is 25" in diameter. so it will raise the car by 0.2" and reduce fender-to-wheel gap by 0.2" - it will also make your speedometer more accurate (it's calibrated high with stock tire sizes), and will potentially make acceleration a bit slower. but i doubt you'd notice that last part, especially if you were going to light tires (like 22lbs each).
i'm likely using this size with my new 18x8.5" ARC-8s.

235/40/18 is a great fit on a 18x8.5 wheel.

Many people like 245/35 18 x 8.5, like me.

LOL, yes, but it is an very common size for ZHP's who go square.
