Thank you for the compliment. Yes, 275's work very well with the 18x9.5" ET35 square fitment, however spacer thickness requirements up front for proper strut clearance will vary depending on tire brand, vehicle ride height as well as suspension type.

With stock suspension, lowering springs with stock shocks, or most aftermarket coilovers with linear springs, inner clearance is maximized and 5mm spacers can be used with most 275 tires. With height adjustable sleeve kits or coilovers like KW, Bilstein or Ohlins, thicker spacers may be required due to the suspensions design.

Yes, by running the 9.5" ET22 you could bypass the need for spacers. however now you have a very aggressive fitment in the rear. There are pro's and con's to either, and that is ultimately why we are developing the 18x9.5" ET28 for this chassis.
