265 on the front of my FD

ok I ALREADY KNOW ABOUT THE SIZING THREAD!! I CANT open it because my Excel is messed up. I need to know if 265/35/18 will fit on the front of my fd with a 9in rim and a +42 offset?

Thanks Ken

Ken,
it'll be tight, but not impossible. I run a 255/35 on the same rim.... it will rub the liner at full lock a little, and you'll want rolled fenders.

I run a 255 on a 9" +42. It is a pretty good fit, but you'll eventually catch the fender lip pulling into a steep driveway, et al. It's always a good idea to roll the front fenders.
Like ptrhahn said, a 265 can be made to work, but it will be tight on that wheel/offset. Aside from being wider, it's also a little taller then stock.

It rubs the liner in front, behind the washer bottles when the wheels are turned at full lock, but honesly, most all aftermarket wheels do.
