Is this gonna rub?
Here's the setup I'm thinking about buying but I'm not sure if I'll have to run a negative camber to make it fit without rubbing the fender wells, and I definately dont want it to stick out like an old school hotwheels car.
Front:
18" x 9", +26mm offset (6.11 backspacing)
275/35 ZR18
Rear
18" x 10.5" +27mm offset (6.9 backspacing)
295/35 ZR18
Thoughts...?

I have 19s and I know that 285/35/19s will rub on the rear with my +18 offset. The best way to figure this out is go to the website of the tire that you are looking to put on your car and look at the rolling inflated diameter. Every tire is different by brand for the same size. You however have a very conservative offset so I'm pretty sure you will clear because the edge of the tire should tuck under. For some reason you do rub I would not run more negative camber than what you will already have with such a wide tire. I would roll/cut the fenders first because too much camber will cause uneven wear. I speak all of this in assumption that your car is dropped in some way.

I'm actually thinking about the same tires you have I just wasnt sure if the T1's would rub with such a wide rim at +26/+27. BTW - I'm at stock height. The streets around here aren't forgiving enough for more of a drop than stock.
