This is the maximum width for the front of your 1M. The 285/35/18 is way too tall and even with an extreme amount of negative camber it will definitely rub on the fender liners with any kind of steering angle. Also the 285/35/18 would look quite odd with that tall of a tire in the front of the car. We have 18x10" ET25 wheels available in both the ARC-8 and EC-7 models as well as camber plates for your 1M!
thanks for the informative post.. I concur.. particularly regarding the 35 sidewall

I was able to fit a 285/30 Hoosier.. on a BONE STOCK CAR .. before camber plates.. see here.

it was VERY close and rubbed ever so slightly but in retrospect.. I think it would work if one is not concerned about minor rubbing... I know that I was definitely a lot more conservative back then as I did not want any fender liner damage. With camber plates.. I am sure these would work.. Might even be able to borrow that setup again from a friend to confirm....
