Default tire fitment question and performance question, need help

will there be any issue running a set up of 18x9.5+12 all around with 265 up fnt and 295 rear? wheels are gramlights 57, and Toyo tires. looking for a good performing set up, or could consider getting another set up work XD 9 )18x9 front 18x10 rear again) what are your guys thoughts. gramlights are gun metal, work are Silver (wrecked the other day and front tires and wheels took major ****, what color you all think would look better on the San marino blue Z?
had silver before looks good and OEM style...
Thanks in advance

A 265 on a 9.5" +12 wheel will rub for sure in the front, very badly. I honestly don't even know if you'll be able to fit that. You would probably want something more like a +22 or +24 for the front for that tire fitment. Due to the relatively small wheel choice in the rear, a +12 with a 295 is plausible. 295 will be freakin' huge on a 9.5 though, way past recommendation anyway and it may rub even with rolled fenders.

Also, what Toyo tire are you planning on running? Some Toyo's run rather wide which would exacerbate the rubbing problems I just mentioned.

depending on height/camber/specific tire, might rub out back
