Default Largest Wheel & Tire Combo for the Front?

What is the largest( widest) Wheel, tire Combo you can safely fit in the front of a 4th Gen Camaro? Reason, cuz I want my 4 wheels, tires to to be the same size. But I want the widest I can fit. I would love to fit 18x10.5 all the way around with 295/35s! Would that fit without rubbing in the front?

NO. A 18" x 10.5" with a 275/35ZR18 is known to fit, but IMHO looks strange with such a narrow tire

I am going with a set of 18x10.5 chrome ZO6 rims (+53 o/s) with 275/35/18 rubber. I prefer to have a smaller tire as it decreases sidewall flex in corners and enhances steering response. I think, for a lot of tires that have soft sidewalls, a 275 tire is too large on a 9"-9.5" wide rim. I saw a 245 tire mounted on a 9.5" wide rim and that looked better
