I've got Roush wheels 18x10 +45mm
Want to run a 295/35
Question is, will it fit?

What about with a good alignment?
I would definitely want to tuck the biggest tire possible. Without fender flares or anything of the sort.
That's going to be very tight without a small 5mm spacer.
I have a 20x10 +48mm and 285/30-20's and the tires/rim are a few mm from rubbing the strut as is.
ive got the same offset as you, with a 5mm spacer. I run a 275/35/20 and rub my coilovers, but then again my camber is horrid haha

You sure about it being positive?Already on coilovers, don't need camber bolts, running about 1.5 degrees of positive camber.
My experience - you'll probably rub the strut unless you're running something like Cortex's struts that provide extra wheel and tire clearance. Or run a thin spacer with the FRPP hubs (it's getting the ARP studs that really matters here).Want a big beefy tire all around, anyone that can chime in that's ran a 295 up front?
Nope.
If you put 0.021" and 0.022" feeler gauge blades together, they'll slip right through the gap. 0.022" + 0.023" puts up a little fight.
That's not the smallest wheel clearance I've worked with . . .

I'm running 295/35/18 NT05s up front on 18x10 drifts with stock style suspension (KR struts with 1.5 drop). No rubbing issues that I've noticed.
I've also run 275/40 and 285/40s up front on the same 18x10 drifts with no rubbing.
Don't know what the offset is off the top of my head for the Drifts so I'm not sure how that compares to the roush wheels as far as clearance is concerned.
IIRC the roush wheels are 20x9.5" with 45mm offset that also require their Mustang steering rack stop kit when using Roush 20" wheels..
