2G Wheel fitment guidance, 18x10.5" wheel, 295 tire, YES it has some clearance issues

Just thought i would note this down for people as i always believe in logging what i can for everyone to see and view easier.
Fronts require a small amount of knuckle modification,
Rears require modification to the knuckle as they touch,

Reason for this is when putting these on i did notice a few spots of interest but upon taking them off i see a few more places of interest.

My wheels are 18x10.5" et 25 and tires are 295/30. No spacers and its the widest tire i can fit on the wheel safely.

Upon installing i noticed the drivers side tire touching the front inner fender shield slightly, its very light but only upon full lock! Then i saw it touches the crank cover shield again only upon full lock,

What else i noticed when removing the wheels is afew things,

They was hitting or rubbing my shock spring, both sides
Also touching the rear part of the wheel housing on the metal bodywork, not sure how or why as i cannot even get close to this when jacked up and on full lock! So this is a weird one but i might assume its when turning when coming off my drive perhaps? Im on full lock and also the suspension is moving differently both sides.

Anyway hope this helps the folks wanting wide wheels and tires out.

My plans are to add a small 5mm spacer on the front i think to get this away from the shock mostly, its the only concern i currently have,

If you went and got smaller tires and a lower ET like 20 or 15 then this wont be much on an issue for you,
