Rear 275/35/18 are rubbing just slightly on the inner fender, a quick baseball bat roll job should solve this (It's literally just barely shaving the sidewall vertically).

Compare tire specs, I would be less concerned with the size, and more concerned with overall diameter and contact patch, these NT01s are very wide given their specs, and the traction shows.
Good to know, thanks! On the rear, with the 18 x 10 ET 25 and just to confirm, it's a tire rubbing issue given the NT01s dimensions, etc., not the wheel itself, correct? There's an APEX 18 x 9.5 ET 22 out now, and if the 10s (wheel itself) rubs, I might consider those over the 10s (they're a pound lighter too).

The NT01s like a lot of camber too IIRC. -4 up front might be a bit much for Star Specs or NT05s I think and -2.5 to -3.0 might be a better setting given those tires, yes?
