I personally would opt for the 10.5 et34 option if it were me. I think a 15-18mm front spacer should give enough clearance up front and no spacer in rear. I need to try it out with my rear 10.5 et33 wheel but I think it should work ok.

I believe this setup right now will depend on the tire, but with a toe arm in the rear it will be much easier.

Front: -3.5 Camber and 0 toe, 10mm spacer
Rear: -2.2 Camber and 0.14 total toe in

Some photos for reference:
Wow I really appreciate it! I think I saw your car on IG. That is a ton of help.

Currently running 18x10 ET33 square with 265/35/18, but I think there is more room. Front is a no brainer IMO.

My car is lower than yours but I also do have stiff rear springs, rear camber shims and toe arms so the rear camber is fixed at -2.8.

I know it will work on the streets, but I really do not want to make a hole in the rear plastic fender covers... I don't mind rubbing them but cracking them is another story. Anyways... Thank you for the photos and explanation!

Ah I see. With -2.8 I see no reason for it to not work. It might ultimately come down to the tire, but I don't think any 265 will be a problem.

I run 18x10et33 Apex SM-10 square with a 12mm spacer up front (for strut clearance, so effectively et21 in front) wrapped in 275/35 NT-01's on track without any issues whatsoever.

Camber plates will be required in the front so you can hit ~ -2.5°.

Bumping an old thread.

Do you think I can get away with 18x10et25 with no spacer in front if I'm running -2.8 degrees in the front?
Or should I be safe and run 5mm spacer in the front?
I'm on Ohlins and will be running 265/35.

Im running 18x10+25 with 265/35 tires with -3 camber front. The fronts clear and there's barely any space for a 275 with my AST 5100 coilovers. If you do want to run 275, a spacer might help with clearance.
