Default 18x9 and 18x10 +45 all round

Apologies for the question, but I have done a search and could not find this exact size.

With the above, would I be able to get away with a slight fender roll or would more work be required?

I am looking to lower about 35mm (1.5''). I would prefer to avoid too much camber if possible. Am flexible on tyre sizes.

Thanks for your advice in advance.

I don't see you being able to fit a 10" with that offset unless you are wanting to stretch a tire on that wheel with way too much camber to tuck it.

You might spend some time looking at this gallery and see if you can decide for yourself:

There are a few 17x10 +52 pics with 255/40-17 tires (same dimensions as a 255/35-18)

...and I like this fitment calculator:

Says the wheel/tire combo will stick out another 1/3" beyond what the 17x10 +52 will.

Ok, thanks for that mate.

Great to have a visual to get an idea of what they may look like.

Sounds like a bit more work than I was after.

Will take the car to the track occasionally so didnt want any rubbing. Just loved the wheels that were in the fitment!

Cheers

Uh, 10 +45 with a 255 would be easy to fit with around -3 camber. It's 1mm less aggressive on the front side than my 9.5 +38 rear, and with the slightly added stretch, it wouldn't be a problem at all after a good roll, bolt relocate, and trimming down the rear bumper edge.

9 +45 Front with a 235/35 would be perfect with fronts that are rolled flat with no pull.
