If so that would make me feel better about running an off set of 40 with a 255/35/18 tire on a 8.5" rim.

do you believe you could afford to have your front wheels/tires 2mm closer to your fenders without any ill effects? Or would this require a fender roll?
Not without fender rolling and/or pulling. Im already dealing with slight fender rub on front passenger side, only under hard compression. Im not hearing or fealing the rub. I just notice slight rub mark on the outside tire side wall. Ive been lapping the car like this for two years without an issue.

With all that camber (-3.2*) and 0 toe in the front, stiff sidewalls of the Dunlop Direzza ZII, one thing Im not in love with is tramlining on the streets. Got to live with that I suppose.
