285/35-18 on the front fits sorta

18x10 et25, hankook rs3. Slight rub on the front of the liner and the rear a little more, could be fixed easily with a heat gun or it would self clearance if you like holes in your liners.

Much bigger tire than the 275, which offers zero rim protection on the same wheel and is not as tall (im running the 275 in front and 285 rear on the same wheels, but test fit because i suspected the 285 could work) Every manufacturer is different obviously, but hey, they fit! Mostly. Lots of inner clearance with stock spring perch, don't think the ride height would matter here so long as the spring perch doesnt move from stock much with your setup

Im not the only one who has tried this size up front but I didnt see anyone document it.

Strut clearance, could probably do et28-30 which would help with rub, or a 10.5" could work too

Did you run 275/35 on the front with zero rub? I just ordered some mcs dampers and was wanting to run a square setup. Looks like you did what I was planning to do.

Yes no issues with the 275/35-18 on 18x10 ET25, it's what all the cool kids do

Assuming your lower spring perch is about where mine is, should be fine
