Istan had +35 on the front of his with 275/35-18 and it fit fine. Tires were Falken 452's. The rim will clear , but the actual tire shape could be a factor.
Jet that pic is a 275/40 up front, you can read the 40 part on the tire.

sorry to sound really noobish, but what are the benefits of running such a wide diameter in the front (aside from being more flush with the fender)? what would you rears be (305 or more)?
i have 18X9 (+32) in the front and am running 245/40/18. wouldn't the wider tires mess with the VDC/traction control and speedometer?

Not sure about Jet's case but I'm running 275/30 Pirellis on a 9.5 +30, no rubbing.
If his tires are 275/40 BFG's they are a little wider and about an inch taller than the Pirellis.
