Thanks guys.
The 255mm max width on the front is disappointing. I talked to the guys at DSE, Apparently the problem is not rubbing on the subframe, but rubbing on the outer fender lip when the tire rotates around. The inner edge of the tire swings toward the outer fender as you turn the wheels. Thats how it was explained to me. I guess its a problem with the 67-68 shaped fenders. The 69s have longer openings, and more room for bigger tires.
Here is the wheel combo recommended by DSE:
18x11 rear, 5" b.s. with a 315/35/18
18x9 front, 6.125" b.s. with 255/35/18
I think thats what I will go with unless anyone has any reason to try something else. I was thinking of just limiting the steering rack and go a bit wider on the front. Is that a possiblity?
