Many have ran 18x10" ET25 or 18x10.5" ET22 with 285/35-18 tires on all four corners over the years, and Hankook RS-3's (now RS-4) were typically the tire used. The issue is that the overall height (rolling diameter) is just a bit too tall for the front of the car, which typically led to some scrubbing or even damage under compression. Some enthusiasts were able to get it to work, but we would recommend sticking to 275/35-18 or 295/30-18.
