I want to go to a 265/35/18 tire on a 9" rim at the rear...will this combo have fitment or rubbing issues if I don't roll the fenders or make suspension changes? Thanks.

if the offset is right it shouldnt be a problem. you may have to roll fenders though if they dont fit right and you have a saggy rear suspension like many goats do... i know you arent really thinking about suspension mods for right now. but id suggest you get some drag bags or pedders 5/16 drag springs to keep the ass from slamming down on them during hard shifts.

are you a manual or automatic ?

Manual.

I had Pedders springs and still had to grind the inner lip a little for 275 tires on 9" wide wheels. Depends a lot of the wheel offset and whether the brand tire runs wide or narrow in that size. You might need to massage the fender lip.
