Well I'm pretty set on 275/35R18's on all 4's just based on the fact that there are a lot more tire choices in that size vs a staggered setup. But now the question is rim size, so do I make them look a little wider with the 10's and keep that option open to go wider out back in the future? Or do I run the 9's to be safe and know they'll fit? Based on toyo and tire rack a 275 should have a 9.5 to 10" wide wheel.

OP -
If you are set on rolling on 275s all the way around...18x9s are perfect. Where are you located? Any plans on going to the OCMD Spring cruise? If so, I'll sell ya two of mine! Lol, they are in 10/10 condition....

9's it is.
So consensus is that a 275/35R18 WILL FIT with no issues in the front, so long as it's mounted on a 9" wheel with the 24mm offset? It doesn't rub on anything even at full lock or hard corners in both directions?

I don't see 275's as skinny on 10"s, but about even with the wheel side, in most cases. I see them as too wide for 9"s for sure, so maybe a 9.5" would be a good compromise.
"Go ahead, run 275's and make my day!"

I don't push this car hard in turns most of the time so having some extra sidewall flex isn't the end of the world.

Na just bolt on's, the only reason I'm going 275 is because the tires I want arn't made in a 265.
