Enkie Kojin wheels 18 x 9.5 square set up.
Tires are Yokohama 255x35 18
I have read that spacers would be needed for the front end to clear the struts.
How much is needed to make this work ?
Side note : car is mainly for daily driving only.
Thanks in advance

You didn't specify what the offset is, but I'd say you'd probably need a net of +30 or lower. So just take your wheel offset and subtract 30 to get min spacer thickness needed.
If you're using camber bolts, these will change the distance to the perch. Using a bolt in the lower hole gives just a smidge more clearance as opposed to using the top hole. Probaby just a couple of mm, but that can make all the difference.
I'm going off of fitment of my 17x8s (+48) with 225. Tire is almost rubbing the perch, but with an 18, I think the rim itself will be in that area.
Where am I getting the +30 from?

These guys are running 18x9.5 +30 with 265s, originally this was on stock suspension and camber bolts in the lower holes, then they went to lowering springs (MachV ~1"). They said they had minimal rubbing, which I think was fixed with more negative camber.
