The Michelins are much narrower at the tread then a star spec or RS3, due to the shape/profile of the tire. I think the 17" wheels are a better choice for autox duty due to cost and tire selection but you can make 18s work.
Style 68s are 17x8.5 with a 50 offset, perfect up front with a 12mm spacer.

Have you tracked your car at all? I would be a little worried about brake temperature if I was doing lapping days running a 17" rim up front. Even with a 18" rim I feel the brakes don't get enough air flow.
I think I am going to order some tires in standard sizes/fitment for now. I will remove my rears and do a bunch of test fitting and see if I can get the 255/35/18s to play nice up front with mt TC Kline coils and other suspension bits. I will report all of my findings when I do so.
