You will likely have problems on the front. It is not the width, it is the height.
I run 315/30 17s on the front and rear, but when I am at full lock it lightly rubs the inner fender. The extra 1/4 of extra side wall likely will make it rub worse than my 315s.
If you can get a tire 25.6" tall instead of 26.1", they should be fine.

ive heard of some people having problems and some that fit fine with no rubbing, seems like it is the same thing as running 315s on the rear of our cars, some people say they dont have to modify anything, some need some massaging. i beleive UMI is running the exact same wheel/tire combo on their shop autox car and havent had any problems. they have a thread going in the suspension/brakes section on that car. i am putting 295/35r18's on 18x10.5 weld rts's which are being built right now.

It's going to depend more on wheel offset than anything else. I had 18x10.5" c5dd wheels with 295/35/18 nt05's up front a while ago and they slightly rubbed the spindle and were really close to the upper ball joint. I ran a spacer for the ctsv brakes so this wasn't an issue. I upgraded to weld rts wheels with no spacers and 295/30/18's r888's and have no interference anywhere.

Sitting still and going straight is always fine.
Lean on it a little and hit some bumps mid corner and it is a different story.
Pics below are wider tires, but are a shorter tire. Look how close things get inside the wheel well. Especially the 2nd pic. I am not even near full lock.
