275/35/18(25.6") will fit without issue. 285/35/18(25.9") may fit also, however it may(or may not) require a few extra tenths of a degree of negative camber.
So I should be good just add some negative camber? I am on super sport springs and some road surfaces the car sits LOW LOW often it's decent but just not sure if it would but thank you!

Mickey Thompson doesn't make a 275/35/18 tire tho :,( they make a 275/45/18 would that still fit you think? What maybe just a fender roll or more camber?? Not good with fitments and offsets lol

I'm lowered on Bilstein B14s and run the following setup:

Front
18x8.5 et35 w/ 10mm spacers
245/40r18 Indy 500s

Rear
18x9.5 et35
275/35r118 Indy 500s

No rubbing whatsoever from fronts of rears.

I like this nice setup. I have about the same setup currently just ET in the rear is 45 I have no front spacers lowered on H&R super sport springs. No rubbing also on 275 Michelin unless I have a full car then yea I may rub. Worst case I'll just do an apex drag setup lol.

the only MT that fits is 275/40/17. i don't recall if 17" apex will clear the larger OEM brakes. you may have to change to smaller rear brakes and code accordingly.

if 18" rear at ET45...275/35/18(25.6), 285/35/19(25.9), 265/40/18(26.3), 275/40/18(26.7) will fit with tire categories from ranging from extreme summer performance to slicks, depending on the size. negative camber may be required with some to tuck the upper shoulder.

at ET45 the maximum width/size i have seen is 295/30/19(26") with added neg camber. 295/35/18(26.1") could fit but could also rub, it all depends on the specific tires girth. rays340i had this size then went to 17" drag radials. here is the link...

I just care if it fits or not worst case as I said just doing a 17 inch apex I have the small brakes in the rear not the M sport brakes. Don't care for 19 mainly 17-18 but the wheels I liked most where 18 x 10 . So thanks for the tips and help ! Will just go apex I guess
