18x9.5 with 40 offset, 275/35F & 285/35R w 1.25" spacers?
 
Sound right to have no issues?

Sounds good to me, although 1.5 may be better for fronts, 1.25 should tuck them in more and may not give full clearance on lock to lock turning. Rears should be fine with 1.25

Well there is a Baer kit on the front that I was trying to compensate for.

Ok then you should be ok if that moved brakes out 1/3 to 1/2 inch. Still alittle tight but may work. I have 8.5" wide fronts but 56mm offset so backspacing is similar to you. I run c5 brakes and a 1.7" adapter with 255 tires and clears well. Sits in nice. Full lock doesnt rub unless suspension travels like in a bump situation and i am lowered in front pretty low.

275's sitting in closer will likely rub abit more. 1.5" spacer likely be a better idea if you dont have adapters yet

No, I don't have them yet. I may go with the 1.5" as you suggest. Is the best place to them from motorsport-tech.com? Skulte is long gone right . . .

:thanks:
