i believe the front will require neg camber (-2.9?) for that set up to work.

someone will correct me if im wrong.

Ive put my rear 18x10.5 +22 on my front when the car was in the air and it cleared fine - close but it cleared. I did not put the car on the ground, but it should be OK depending on tire choice and ride height.

go 265/35 and it should fit. i have 265/40's on my 9.5's up front, i wouldnt push it any farther. 275's are out of the question for me, i like to go through the dragon and the suspension compresses big time so 275's will definately rub in the corners.

Make sure and try and stay with a 35 series profile (or even a 30 if you are really worried about it and are running wide front tires).

I found the biggest combo that worked on the front was 18x9.5's with a 30mm offset. This allows 275 tires. I use 275/35s, but 275/40s would also work. Clearances are tight on the inside, but still clear. I don't think you will fit much bigger on the ront without fender issues. Of course the same setup works fine on the back.

^^^ Like I said, my 18x10.5 +22 w/275/40 clears the arm also (very tight fit but barely clears), I am just not sure about fender clearance depending on how low you are, etc...

10.5" wheel with a 265 tire? That will look retarted. With a +22 offset up front you will rub if your car is lowered.

18x10.5 +22 will clear inner supension??

As for as outside i will run approx 2 degrees of camber so that'll give me some extra room on the outside...

Thankyou

Nitto NT-01's very very nice choice. How do you like them? How is the tread wear on those things?

you can still run 18x10 all around....just need 265/35 or 255/35 up front.

M-WORKZ is a chassis tuning shop based out of Gardena, CA. Not sure which arms he has though.
