Any chance you'll be making an 18x9.5 - 58 version of this for a staggered setup?

No spacers or camber adjustments required? That contradicts your recommendations in your fitment guide:

"Front & Rear: 18x8.5" ET35 or ET38 with 225/40-18 tires

255/35-18 tires require at least 2.2 degrees of front negative camber and 1.8 degrees of rear negative camber depending on tire brand and suspension setup"

Stock suspension, no spacers, no camber adjustments.

Seems like the wheels are an 8.5" square setup, the tires are clearly staggered with 225's in front and 255's in the back. 225's in front is consistent with their recommendation for a totally stock suspension setup. You'd definitely need camber to fit a 255 in the front.

Thanks for pointing that out! Our camber recommendation is to ensure no rubbing under any circumstances with aggressive compound tires (that typically run wide), even during track use.

In this case, the 255 rear fitment may be ok for street use and no rubbing will occur, but we have not confirmed with the owner whether they have experienced any rubbing or not.

With that said, 255/35-18 street tires will be a lot more forgiving in terms of clearance, and may end up not rubbing at all. It's just not something we're comfortable guaranteeing since we like to be fully transparent about any possible clearance issues.
