265 square?

I'm trying figure out if I can run a 265 on a 18x9.5 Et 33 without having to dial in a lot of camber. Is there a different offset I should run to squeeze the tire in there? I want as much grip as possible in the front without dialing in excessive amounts of camber. I have heard / read that 255/35/18 is possible, just curious if it's possible to push that just a little bit farther?

There are some running 265's up front, but there may be issues with rubbing.
255 is definitely the safe bet. You shouldn't have any issues at all.
