What size nitto nt01 do you guys run on the backs with 18s? I don't see them in a 265/35 zr18

245/40 front 275/35 rear on 8.5 and 10" wheels. dunno your wheel widths but you may have to research max tire width and offset.

Important to note (at least on my car with a Hankook R-S3 v1 in that size), 245/40/18 won't fit on the front with the OEM struts, you need coilovers like PSS9 or KSport (that have a narower spring and lower spring perch); otherwise the tire is too tall and hits the lower spring perch and it would take a huge amount of spacers to resolve.

Are you running the stock 18" turbo twist rims?

my current rears are 265/35. Forgive my tire ignorance, but can I run 275/35?
