Default Widest wheel tire combo up front with OEM fenders?

I have been looking for wider than 10.5 18's but haven't really come up with anything with the exception of a set of Rota's someone in the Roto thread posted and there were some others in the FS forum a while back but I don't remember the brand.

I am looking for a track wheel tire setup. I would really like to see if I could get a 12 inch square wheel setup with 235 tires but i don't know if it is possible even with the right offsets but I don't know what the clearance is between the shock tower and the fender. I don't mind trying to stretch the fender but I don't want to if I can help it. Front the exterior I want to keep the car as stock looking as possible. With the exception being of course wheels and brakes. One of the reasons I chose the Akebono brake kit is to go for the "steathly" look. If anyone could give me some input or point me in the right direction maybe I missed something somewhere through my searches, it would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,
-Michael

Maybe the desert heat is getting to me. I edited the post to try and clarify.

Looking for an 18in wheel wider than 10.5 inches preferably 12 inches or wider and I need to know what offset I would need to look for to get them to fit in the front wheel well with the possibility of a 335/30/18 tire.

Why would you want a 11 or 12" wheel in the front? Show car?

Definitely not a show car. Not looking for stretched tires.

Read: https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...es-thread.html

Not many go with a 12" wide wheel unless for dedicated track use. I'm running a 265/35-19x9.5 +20 and a 305/30-19x11 +25 Toyo R888 (run big).

If you go through that thread I think Mike is running a 18x11 & 18x12 with 335/30 on all four.
