Will need camber kit. Even with D2 alone, it will be out of OE wheel alignment spec too. I am sure those who run with 255/35R18 will be able to give more comments.

Yes, I do think you will be fine. Can you take a pic straight down the car so we can see how "pokey" the wheel really is?
DO THIS: put a jack under the lower control arm and lift it 2in+, then spin the tire and check. Lower and repeat in various steering angles. That will give you the answer you seek :thumbsup:

That tab bending seems to be the fix for rubbing in the front but some rub in the rear. No pun intended but taken anyway :)
