Just got new wheels 18x9.5 +34, And i found a great deal on tires that are 235/40/18 I was wondering if it would look to stretched or if anyone has achieved this with no problems. The tires are Michelin Pilot Sports if that matters

No it's not too stretched especially with Michelins since those are fat tyres. Also 235/40/18 is approved size for 9.5. Depending what your suspension is you might need 3mm spacer to clear front shocks. Here is few examples.

Looks great! Thanks for the quick reply and the examples. And as far as suspension i'm gonna be lowered on coilovers but have a 5mm spacer ready for it

That will work just fine and also if you plan to use same size at rear i would use 10-12mm spacer to match the front more. I used to have 9.5 et22 rear with 235/40/18 without fender mods and no rubbing.
