275/35/18 squared?

Anybody running 275/35/18 squared? Im currently running 265/35/18 squared on my 18x9.5 +35 all around. I just got a set of NT01 for free and was wondering if they will even clear the front strut. I am running -2.5 camber up front and a 5mm spacer with my current setup at stock height.

I did this last year. Wheel spec is an 18x9.5 et35 with a 5mm spacer and am on GC coils. Camber is some where between -2.5ish.... I lowered the car a smidge to shift a bit of weight forward so it not 100% sure what it is now.

In order to do this you need to shave a tiny bit of material off the perch where the tire just barely grazes it. Simple 5 minute job with a dremel tool and a cold brew on standby to celebrate

F360C I know if I could get my car to have the stance and square setup as yours I would be far happier with the car. Too me the front always looks to be sitting too high.
