Which wheel would you suggest? With a combination of great traction and rounded sidewalls?

There is very lilttle room btwn the suspension and the rim/tire. It does rub but I would like a lil more room for piece of mind. Plus there is still plenty of room on the fender side so figured it would look better with a bit more poke

So those are Hankook V12's Escobar?

Yep, hopefully some newbies don't see these wheels and stats and misthink. I have pretty much the same dimension wheels and I rubbed with my first set of Hankook rear 245/35's. I rubbed just a tad unlowered with passengers. I had my fender rolled when I lowered my suspension and still rubbed a little, mainly with passengers. However with my current tires I don't rub at all and might could use 265/30's.

Maxnix is right though, you need a rear offset of 55+ if you really want to properly run 265 rears.

You may need to roll your fenders for a 5, I have room for a 5 but my fenders are rolled

Yes they are.

What tires/size are you running? Did you roll your fenders all they way flat?

Right now I hardly rub, I still need to stiffen up the rear dampening but I got lazy since heat/celtics was starting, think that will clear the rubbing that's left

Yea ideally a 9.5 +55 would be perfect for a 265, I thought I would easily be able to roll the fenders flat like on every other car but that inner carpet kinda threw a wrench in my plan
