I too, was a little worried about the 265 front. I think it's the risky size, and didn't want to risk dissappointing Niko if it rubbed.

Looking sexy as hell!!! I was also thinking about the GT30's. I want these to now... I know what Ryan @ Forged means about being a wheel whore!!!
I am running 265 in the front and 305 in the rear but on 19" rims. Only lowered the car 1/4" inch and waiting for the springs to settle to make final adjustments. No rub at all... Fits perfects but will keep all informed.

I think that with me not lowering the car, the larger size should work with no rubbing issues. And, it would not look so "stretched" as some have mentioned.

We have done 265s on a few sets of TE37s and a few sets of RE30s, both 19" with absolutely no rubbing issues. The 20s would be a little closer and of course the suspension height has a lot to do with it as well. |

Can anyone tell me whether this rubbing issue with going to 265's on the front was a turning rubbing issue or an up-down rubbing issue? (With these wheels and offsets)
