KW CS with helper spring

18x10 +25 ARC8
275/35/18 re71r rubbed w/o spacer
275/35/18 RRs did not rub

I eventually just left a 5mm spacer up there and neither tires rubbed anymore

from what I understand I will need at least a 10mm spacer in order to fit an 18x10.5" et27 wheel up front with 275/35s? Should I just use a 12mm instead for the added bonus of a hub-centric lip?

I have eibach 140-60-0090 front springs for added clearance up front.

Approx how much camper would I need?

Are you sure you need that big of a spacer? Might be worth it to ask someone with the same set up.

You might be able to get by with a 5mm spacer but this depends on your ride height (perch location relative to tire), and the physical tire dimensions. 10mm to 12mm will work with the appropriate amount of camber. A 10mm spacer will be hub-centric; no need to go to a 12mm for that. Pics of my car with 275's on a 10.5 et17 and -3.3 camber:

I really appreciate your help! Per Malek's advice I ended up going with 18x10 et25 for the front to avoid having to use any spacers for the time being. Fits like a glove with the help of my Eibach springs up front. Wheels look amazing by the way, great photos. I'm a sucker for RIAs.
