Will 18x8j +35 clear front brakes?

Thinking of running 245/40/18 square for winter tires.

My 8.5 LA220 has 255/35/19 PSS with offset of +29 which easily clears front brakes but unsure if this will work with ET:35 on 18 inch wheels. Has anyone tried this size?

Depends on the wheel. I tried this with an 18x8 Enkei Raijin and it didn't work, not enough barrell clearance even with spacers

What the hell. Your enkei looks almost identical to the ones I have.
