My fronts are a 255/45/18 on a 9.5 +35 and tire is ALMOST flush at -1.5 camber settings. New tires are a 275/35/18 on front and a 295/35/18 on the rears. Fronts will probably be tire flush and rears will probably poke tires a bit but I have SPC arms so I can adjust.

I think camber is one of the least mentioned things when it comes to being flush which is very important. I had a 18x9.5 +35 with a 15mm spacer on front and my tires were chewing fender at -1.7 camber. Yet you see some people saying they squeeze a 19x9.5 +15 on front no problem. Why??? They are running more camber and probably a more narrow tire or a shorter tire.
