I have the fenders rolled on my car and run very aggressive camber settings. I only need the fender rolled for the Big 295 tires. I have quite alot of space with the 265 on board.
Also the 265 will have a bit of stretch on a 10.5 tire.
This is with 235/265 Falkens on it, No static Pics. - No rubbing - Ride Height ~RS -15
This is with 235/265 Dunlop Direzza (wide fitment tire - No Rubbing Ride Height ~ RS -10
This is with 245/35 and 295/30 Rolled Fenders - No Rubbing - ~ RS -10
I am actually getting pss10 and will try to use the RS+10.
So are all 8.5 10.5 aggressive due to the width of the wheels?
or should i go with this here
8 x 18 et 47
10 x 18 et 52
or
18 x 8.5 et52
18x10 et 58
the widths are fine it's the ET that you have spec'ed.
8.5ET54 w/ 235/40 or 245/35 x18 will fit at any ride height. As the ET is decreased from 54 the wheel sticks further outboard mm for mm. ET47 sticks out enough to be a concern at lower heights
Similarly in back 10ET65 fits at any height w/ 265/35 or 285/30 x18, 10ET52 sticks out 13mm more. At low enough ride heights the lips will need to be massaged if a 265/35 is used and need even more work w/ a 285/30.
Remember these fitments can be a success or not because of a few mm.
I'd be more comfortable w/
18 x 8.5 et52
18x10 et 58
I use,
8.5ET54 235/40
10ET65 275/35
x18

If Stephen's(Trophy) fit then yours will too, He has the most aggressive fitment I've ever seen.
I'm running tire sizes similar to Steven's. For autocross, Hoosier A7 front 245/35, rear 295/30 on Volk TE37, F 18x8.5, R 18x11. Car is pretty low with lots of negative camber. I don't know off-sets on these wheels as I got them used, but I'm using 6mm spacers on the front. My 993's fenders are rolled. The only rubbing is on the inside of the front wheel-wells from near full-lock-parking-lot type turns.

Update: A recent ad for new Volk TE37RL 18x8.5 and 18x11 shows offsets of 48 front and 55 rear for a narrow body 996 (my wheels came from a 996 GT3 owner). Although my TE37's are a much earlier version, this sounds about right for my wheels. Would have been nice if Volks had offsets stated on the wheels.
