If you get the right adapters and run a reasonable ride height it should fit with no worries. There are alot of guys running 275/40/17's on the front with drop springs and they are OK. If you run a 275/35/18 then you should have similar results. If you plan to really lower the car then consider smaller width tires like 255's or 265's.

Hmm didnt consider that, and honestly I got no idea cuz I have no experience with coilovers. Guess it would depend on how much bigger they are than stock struts and how close stock struts sit next to a 9.5" wide wheel in the front.
