Well I finally had some free time to test fit a wheel from my other car which just so happens to be the exact size/dimensions that I was hoping to run on my Veloster N; 18x9.5 +35 with a 265/35R18 track tire (Nankang NS-2R to be exact).
This setup isn't for the feint of heart, it requires aggressive camber specs all around, as well as some fender rolling and possibly even pulling (not 100% sure if it will be required as I don't have my lowering springs or camber bolts on yet) however I do think it is completely doable with the stock fenders. The most important part however is the fact that there is quite a bit more clearance on the inside of the wheel where all the suspension bits are than I thought there was going to be.
These measurements are taken with stock suspension components and height, as well as stock alignment specs (-0.7* front camber, -1.7* rear camber).
I'll be splitting the pictures up between 2 posts because there's more than 10 and posts are limited to 10. Without further ado here's how the wheel fits on the front:
Tire to spring perch fitment:
Tire to strut fitment:
How it sits on the ground:
Fender liner clearance at full lock (it doesn't rub, there's about 4-5mm of clearance):
How much it pokes out from the front fenders with stock alignment specs:
