What are your plans with the car? Drag, cruise, autocross, road course or street driving? Do you have aftermarket front control arms? Just asking because I am running 18x9.5 and I rub on the front control arm and fender well.

18x10 is pretty big on an SN95 unless you're getting into auto x. It's def not a set up for a drag oriented car. I'd go 18x9 fronts with a 265/35/18. It will give a solid side wall with no stretch or buldge (with most brands). Proper offset will not give you any rubbing issues.

On an 18x10, your going to rub like mad when you try to turn unless you have some serious aftermarket suspension going on up front, or have them so spaced out you need fender flares to keep them from spraying your car with road debris.

I'm not running 18x10's all around and honestly, I wish I had. I have 18x8.5 in the front and they aren't wide enough. I'll have to find a spacer to push it out just slightly. My rear tires are bfg kdw 2's with 295/35/18 and 235/40/18 in the front. I'm lowered 2 inches and have a cobra irs out back.
