Default New wheels on 2014 Scion tC (With pictures)

Hey guys I know this forum is kinda dead but I finally got myself some wheels and I wanted to show you guys. They are not the best brand by any means but I am a college student on a budget so what can I say. Well here are some pictures tell me what you think.
The wheels are RUFF r959 18x8.5 +35 and stretched the stock toyo tires that came with the car barely any stretch though from 7.5 to 8.5.

Also if you guys could help me with this I'm going crazy, one of my tires is making this squeaking noise similar to how wet shoes sound on a smooth surface. I know it is that specific tire and not the car because I switched the wheels from the right to the left and it followed it. It follows the speed of the tire I can even hear it going 2 mph. Please help!!

check the tire rotation could be one tire is turning the opposite rotation, if the tire has a specific way it is to be rotating, or maybe just have to break in the tires or maybe slight rubbing.

I've had the tires for 19000 miles so I don't think that's the issue and the tires are non directional. I also thought it could be something rubbing but I checked every inch of the wheel well and nothing. I got the shop to take the white sticker that's inside the tires off yesterday and that's worked for now hopefully that was it but last time I thought I fixed it came back

Looks good man! What size tires are those? I stretched my stock tires and they look more meatier. I know the TRD wheel packages have 215/35/19 (or something like that) tires but yours aren't 19s Lol

Mine are 225/45/18 I wish I had 19s they look so much better lol but I wanted the performance from 18s my car is already slow so putting bigger tires was a no!
