Hi all
I bought set of potenza 235/40 & 265/35 for custom wheels which won't be here for another month and half ;( while I still have my stock 261M laying around no tires and my car is on the jack. I have second thought about getting Michelin for custom wheels and throw this tires on stock wheels for now so until I get the new wheels. I seen people fit 235/40/18 on stock 261 front which is only 7.5 which require 8" wheel, 265 required 9" wheels and stock wheel is 8.5". So to all wheels expert out there what's your thought? i seen a lot people running 255 no problem. My car sit on H&R super sport spring. Thanks all

If you do it please post pics. I almost bought 265/235 PSS when I powdercoated the 264s but wimped out at the last second.

i believe it's been done, and it'll likely not be too problematic. i'd guess you have a much better chance of having rubbing issues in the front, considering how low the front rides on supersports. from a wheel/tire perspective, a 265 on a 8.5 is a little less advisable than a 235 on a 7.5.

Right now im running 265/35/18's on the rear on the stock 261m wheels, but i only have 225/40/18's. I have stock suspension and theres no issues with any rubbing

I decide to install the tires on my stock 261 wheels. As pics it fit just fine.
Front mounted with 235 and fitment just fine

Rear mounted with 265

I am gonna mount later today when i get home. We'll see how it work with my H&R ss lower springs.

Update
Got the wheels mounted up in the car. Took it out and it perfectly just fine. No rub or anything even I am lowed on H&R SS springs. Here is pics from my iPhone

Nice

Does it looks too fat on the tire as they seem to big for the width of the wheels, makes it look more sqaure.

Not too fat but it's square though.

Do you need neg camber in order to pull this off?

I am almost on the verge of giving up in looking for an aftermarket wheel and just stick with new rubber + stock wheels as my all-in-one setup for DD & Weekend tracking.

Everything stock but the springs. I think it's a little too fat for stock wheel though but it does fit and does not rub even lowed. I guess i use these tires for my new wheels instead and i am sure i will need to roll the fenders

225/255 is the best combo for stock wheel imo.

i've got 265 out back on my car lowered on eibach pro kit. no rubbing on stock 264s.

got killer deal from discount tire on hankooks from ebay, so when my 255s were worn out i went to these.
