Yep... that's the ideal setup. Most everyone in TTA runs 4 18x10.5s with a 275/35 A6. I tested a 255/35/18 this past weekend so I could run a spoiler. Worked very well.

Good luck finding Alcoas though... took me forever to collect 8 18x10.5 Alcoas.

Yes there are, I put 18x10.5 in the search window (pick titles only from drop down) and found pages of threads.

Thats what I'm running this year too. The fronts will stick out past the fender. Do you worry about your paint? If you have a race car, who cars, if you drive a street car I would suggest some 3M stone guard (or similar product).

That just means you're not running enough negative camber I'm around -2.5 up front and the fit perfectly.
