at least you went with a 255 rear tire. 255 looks a bit stretched to me, 245 looks silly. if i purchase another set of rear tires for this car, im goin 265. if i have to do a slight fender roll, so be it.

i hope people will eventually stop buying +45 rear wheels! it's not that they can't work, it's just tragic... there's so much room back there, but +45 is just not right.

not necissarily. there are people on here that have reported no issues with 255 tires on an 18x9.5 +45mm rear rim (depending on tire selection, camber and fender work). i just mean to say that it's unfortunate that you'd have such a wide wheel, but still have to run narrow tires. with the correct offset (see apex ARC-8 wheels), there's room for so much more tire, and no need to roll fenders or mess with the alignment specs.

i expect that it will be slight. keep in mind, i'm running a +50 on the rear with a 255 and I have no rubbing issues. 255 to 265 won't be a dramatic change.
