I want to fit 265 Dunlop Star Specs (best street tire ever imo) next but I'm a little worried about some rear rubbing. I don't rub at all at the moment. Anyone have experience with that or similar and my offset? I don't want to pull the rear fender much and I'm thinking they'll fit as is. Couldn't find any people running that wide with my offset and they all go crazy camber. I still have a little room after the pull and work I did on the bumper. Any help? Pics?

Please just don't tell me to get some wheels that fit

Im not sure if I qualify. I am on 255/35/18's. I really wanted to run 265's, but I didnt want to have to roll the rear fenders just yet. I think the Hankook v12's run a little narrow too. Anyways, im happy with them so far!

Huge advantage is, I have no rubbing whatsoever. None on the splash shields, fenders, nothing!

Wheels: 18x9.5 +35 FN01-rc
Tires: Hankook V12 Evo, 255/35/18
Susp: BC Ram Series Coilovers
Fender mods: None!
Rubbing: None!
