Capt is also running 9.5 & 265 square, https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show...9&postcount=21
Apex makes the 9" wheel specifically for the 1&2 with an offset of 42. These are the proper width for a 255 section, so why wouldn't you want to go that route?
I finally decided on the 9" square setup this past winter, myself..

Thanks for the info, and for the link.
It's not so much a matter of not wanting to run a 9" wheel. After all, we're considering 17X9 up front, or even square. Part of what we're wondering at the moment is if a 255 can be fit in the front wheel well with <=-2.5° camber, as well as what other modifications might have to be done to get a tire that size to fit.
Your build shows that you have -2.5° camber in front. Is there anything else you had to do to fit the 255s in front - e.g., fender roll, 2.25" springs, or something else?
Your build also shows you're running Apex ARC-08 18x9 square ET42 with Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R 255/35. I'm guessing your rear tires are very close to the fender lip, but with -2.0° camber they're not so close that they rub or required a fender roll. It would be helpful to know if that is correct.
