Alright, I am finalizing my parts list and placing orders for the final pieces my project requires. I plan to install everything some time next month.

After communicating with TC Kline, reading and rereading everything posted in this thread I have decided to order 12mm spacers (maybe 15mm now?). Hopefully with an effective offset of 40 (or 37?) and roughly -3 degrees of camber I will be able to run a square 255/35/18 setup on my car. I will only look to a fender roll & pull as a last resort if I have no other options.

Can anyone comment on which tire will have a smaller sectional width between the PSS and new Direzza Star Spec II on a 8.5” rim? I am leaning towards the PSS as it appears to have a smaller sectional width on a 8.5" rim as well as coming in more sizes.

The 255/35R18 Dunlop Direzza ZII's has a sectional width of 10.2" (according to this thread)
The PSS has a sectional width of 10.2" also according to Tire Rack
The NT-01 only has a maximum width of 9.49" according to Nitto's website

Kgolf31 what size tire are you running on your 17" rims?

PigFarmer what kind of clearance did you have between the the tire wall and the coil / strut while running the 245/35/18 ET45? Was it substantial enough to be able to squeeze a 255/35/18 in there, or would you require a spacer? Do you think at an offset of 40 or 37 would be more likely to make everything fit with a 255/35/18?

Elsabor67 How much camber do you have dialed in? After reading your post I might actually consider getting a 15mm spacer if you claim you only had about 6mm of clearance to the strut whilst running a 235 NT-01 with TC Kline D/A...
