Default fitment question. 265/35/18 on front

I was wondering if anyone has this setup or knows if it will fit. 265/35/18 on a 9.5" wheel with a +20 offset. I have searched and searched and I have found that it will be fine with a +30 offset, but I'm not sure about +20. I am not lowered yet but only plan on a mild drop.

Should be, I've seen a few running that tire on a 18x9.5" with a +22 offset.

I went 275/35 in the rear 265/35 in the front. Combined with hotchkis sway bars set at med/med the car is much more neutral, maybe a little more tendency to oversteer. Still on stock springs.

How about 265/35/18 on the front 8.5" LMGT4? Would that bulge too much for an HPDE application?

no, it would be fine. There are people running 285/30 on the LMGT-4 fronts.

How much is your car lowered Jason? It looks awesome. Any camber/toe kits needed for such a low drop?
