I just tested fitted my rear wheels on the front: 265/35/18 on 18x9.5 and with a 5mm it rubs my ohlins; with a 10mm spacer it pushes out too far and hits my fender. Tires are falkens 452 which I believe run wide, camber is 2.5, car is not dumped.

I want to run 265 square or 265/35 rears and 255/35 fronts. Thoughts?
The 18x9" ET42 would work but would need at least 12mm spacer on the front to clear your struts. We do not have a spacer free fitment for the ARC-8's in the 18x9" size unfortunately. The 18x9" ET42 with a 12mm or 15mm spacer should be enough strut clearance with the 255/35/18 if your tire run wider than normal, and the -2.5 degrees of camber up front would be plenty for fender clearance.
