To be honest I am not so sure if the 5.25 will fit either (well at least on my car).
Some additional notes for me: stock sub frame and inner fender well.
I would actually like to get 275's on the front. Unfortunately my car is in the body shop so I can't do the measurements right now. Would love to get a 275/35 on a 9.5 rim into the front w/out moving the inner fenders. I realize this might be a pipe dream though.
Keep the info coming guys it is very helpful.

Thanks for this information!!!!
Do you have postive camber or very little negative camber in the front end?
I see where people run from 4.5" to 5" BS on 18x8" wheels. I'm thinking if I lean toward the 5" BS, then add the +0.31" additional offset from the Wilwood brakes, then it will put me at 18x8 5.31" backspace. Round up to 5.375" (5-3/8").
That will give me the best chance at not hitting the fender. I can always use a spacer to move it out if I have excess outside room.
