Front strut clearance, this photo is slightly deceiving due to the light (photo of front left from behind looking towards front of car):

Front strut, this photo is more representaive of the gap, maybe a few pieces of paper fit in there...

Still room height wise, at least to clear the stock strut.

Rear inner spacing when car is lifted, it's pretty much touching (photo looking down to rear driver's wheel):

When on the ground the rear wheel sits much higher, and that fender liner curves inward at higher points. You can also see one of the massive tread gaps in the 275/35/18 PSS near the inside shoulder.

I'm still just running around with the alignment pin out and have flogged the car harder around a few curves, still no rubbing. I think a 265/35/18 in front might not be out of the question with a 5mm spacer...
