Go with 18x9's with +40 for 255/35's. That's what I plan on running soon. +35 will rub in the back for sure. Worst case, if +40 causes any issues on the inner fender wells or with the struts, you can throw on a set of 3mm or 5mm spacers. It's harder to go the other way if you get +35's and they cause problems.

Bottom line, the front and rear have very different and specific needs.
Rear: if you never want to rub your gonna need a +45 with a fender roll possibly a slight pull depending on the specific tire brands width.
Front: Camber comes into play here, you seem to not be a racer so I'll assume your only gonna run about 1* so somewhere in the +25 to +30 range is where you want to be for the look you want without touching the fenders.
+30 is the best compromise if you dont want to mess with spacers, different offsets are gonna run less than 1.8* camber. I rubbed a few times but only with a good amount of weight in the car on large dips in the road due to the rears poking just a little bit.
Source: been there done this.
That being said if I were in your shoes at your power level with your baller budget I'd run a 245/45-18 rear 9" wheel +45 with a 275/35-18 front on a 10" wheel +30 offset with some custom forgestars. Pretty damn sure it would clear with camber plates and fender liner mods and a little tap on that seam in there.

Ya, people are getting confused with their offsets. lol you people are confusing the hell out of the OP.

I'm also thinking that not to risk to buy tires that may not fit, after I buy the rims, I may try to look for a set of 255/35 at a junkyarrd to make sure they don't rub

So some people are telling me that 18x8.5 with +35 offset should be flush with the fenders. But If I have a 15mm spacers on the stockers, and it looks like they will need 20mm spacers to be flush, how is that possible? Are you guys sure that with 18x8.5 +35 they will be flush without spacers?

This is the tool you need. Wheel Offset Calculator
You DON'T want a +50 offset at any width. My 19x8.5's with +38 are 1/2" from hitting the front struts. 8.5's with +50 would most likely rub and not be anywhere close to flush.
