Ordered my 18" TE37's the first week of December, so give it another month and they should be here, so I am gonna go ahead and order my tires. I have 18x10.5R +22 and 18x9.5F +22 wheels on the way. I'm sure about the 295/35-18's for the rear with some fender rolling. I just need final thoughts on the front tires.
*I am wanting to run 265/35-18's on the front wheels w/o any rubbing issues. Final thoughts on whether or not this is a for sure fitment with 9.5 +22's???

Yep, you will be fine. I run 265's in the front on my 9.5" +27 and there is more than 5mm of clearance. Also, I'm running BFG KD's which are super wide in their size class. My 265' are a little bit wider than my 275 Pirelli's.
Let me know how the rear works out. I think you will definitly need to roll the fenders with +22's back there. I run 295's in the rear, but with a +30 offset on a 10.5"

My main concern was just with the front, because the you can't roll them more than they come from the factory.
Anyone else running 265/35's on their 18s up front????

Well this is my daily driver and its already easy enough to make a car float on 295's, so KDW just seemed like the best option for hydro-resistance and wet-traction with incredible dry traction and cornering. Plus KD's are 307 each and KDW's are 229 each. so I will be saving roughly 200-250 bucks on tires.
PS...KD's have a 200 treadwear rating while the KDW-2's have a 300 rating, so thats another factor
