18x8 ET 57 with 245/40/18 and 18x9 ET 43 with 285/35/18 - will I need spacers?

You need a 13mm spacer on the front. Running those wheels without doing that is suboptimal.

I had a 5mm spacer but in order to get clear of that strut bottom cup I would have needed to come out quite a bit (originally I thought over an inch), I don't think another 8 mm would have done it. The top of the tire was up on that that strut bottom hard. Dang because it did look really "tough"



Ok I uploaded this picture and am able to see it zoomed in for the first time. Maybe another 8mm would do it... Hmmm... When I was peering up under there last night it sure looked like there was no way but this picture seems to tell a different story...
