Rear is going to be a nice fit with that setup (even without the camber). Front is going to be a tight fit from what I've seen but with the camber it will be fine. Most of my research (and numbers) are for a 20mm widebody (0 camber) and the Feed is 25mm. Will be nice to see when they're on.
Yeh, I based the fronts off two set ups, the MayDay Garage FD (Thanks DRIFTFC3S for the info) and the other red FD (Drobs42) in here with 10.5+18.
My only issue is that I don't know what tires will work yet. These guys are running 265/35/18 and I've got 19's - 265/30/19 has pretty much the same rolling diameter though so that should be ok size wise. Only problem is these guys with 18's are running 35 front and 30 back, and I really don't want to go to a 25 profile on the back just to balance it out. So I think I may have to have same profile front and back, and just optically level the car out with the nose slightly lower. I would rather have slightly bigger tyres, but I don't think a bigger rolling diameter in the front is going to work.
Having said that, I went 19's so I could have slightly bigger wheels fill the guards, here in NSW Australia it's impossible to have a super low car, legally it has to be 100mm off the ground. Add the **** roads and I'd rather have a slightly higher ride height on larger wheels. I also feel like 18" wheels fit the FEED fronts perfectly, but look a little small on the back. I've seen a couple staggered set ups but... the SSR's don't come in 18's and ceebs.
The difference between the front and back using 265/30 F and 305/30 R is about 25mm difference. Hopefully I can just adjust it down onto the wheels so it looks optically correct.

18X9.5 +35 RPF1's with 275/35/18 R888's all around w/ pulled/rolled stock fenders:
Did you have to roll the fenders at all four corners? I thought this set up cleared the rear. In the front I imagined 18X9.5 + 35 would need to roll the fenders, but in the rear I thought this would clear.
Depends on how much camber you are running and how wide the manufacturer's "275" nominal size tire is and again how wide the "275" is at the tread block.
Each degree of negative camber will pull the tire in ~ 1/4".
Tire specs vary easily up to an inch on tread block width (top of tire) so another 1/2" variable there.

My post included the tire sizes that you posted; they'll fit. The back will sit 24mm higher than the front but that's just under 1 inch so not very noticeable.

Not sure which post you are meaning, but yeh, I think it's a small enough amount to not worry about. It's street driven anyway so no biggy.
Looking at Super Sports for front and back. Apparently they are quite a wide make though. Unfortunately not many manufacturers seem to make tyres in the sizes I want front and rear in the same style.

Finally got everything on! Had to settle for a 255/30 on the front, 305/30 on the back, Michelin Super Sport all around. So happy with how it all fits, just need to lower the front a little so will take full pics once it's sorted. The back is perfect as is!
Few more pics and specs, just need to lower the front about 20mm if I can get away with it, the KS bumper is quite low/tall. Feed fenders front and back. Absolutely no scrub, I can even full steering lock the wheel with the guard liners in! Should be able to fit a 265/30 in the front!

Thanks guys i appreciate the kind words but roads are far from buttery smooth in south jersey suspension is key hahah and Im running a 265/35/18 squared so you should be good with a 30 sidewall out back when it comes to fitment. Id just suggest a little rear fender work depending on your rear wheel/tire sizing.

Do you have any pics of a similar setup? Is this with original camber or do i have do to some more work to get more camber?
