Yes I have 255/35/18's in front on a 18x9.5+15 wheel with about -1.5~-2 camber. But worthy of note is I am now on Tein lowering springs so I have 1 inch wheel to fender gap all around. On hard turn ins the front's would rub on the fender for few moments until the car catches up with the lateral load.
Pictured is my local friend's car(yes the SS featured car...) running 255/35/18's on 18x9.5+15's in front with 265/35/18's on a the rear. But note he has wide fenders in front. I test fitted his wheels on my car before I decided to run 255/35/18's in front and IMO this fits the car better then 245/40/18's would have just because of sidewall height.
and you guys have fun finding 245/35/18's! because only 8 or so models of tires come in that size that I know of, but they do fit the car very well, and comes with high price tag and very limited tire compound.(I haven't looked for 245/35/18's in about a year, so it might be a different story now)
other tire size I've tried in front for 18's is 235/40/18's on a 9.5, I enjoyed that look/setup very much as well.
on the side note, Don't let the tire stretch fool you on how tall the actual tire will be mounted on the wheel vs unmounted. the change is very minimal, it's called a stretch for a reason.
