You can make anything not rub. ^ There is a point when a bigger tire isn't going to do anything but be dead weight and have less of a contact patch. The crazy hellaflush people have the right idea with a SMALL stretch.

If you don't get tuned before May, I am stealing your car and getting it tuned. I can't take it anymore....you need to feel the powaaa!! Put's a big on your face. Your wife will think you just walked out of Delilah's. Well, that's what happens to me anyway.

On the fronts, I did rub at full lock on the fender liners, but nothing alittle camber couldn't fix. Really have to account for wheels size and offset also. You need to consider if the 265 will rub the shock too, not just fenders. GL, I know this whole wheel/tire thing can be a huge headache!

^ I was thinking more of the shock to be honest. It doesn't matter anyways, I'm gonna go with 255's.

The burnout part was what I found hilarious. I watched a few other rental car abuse videos and this one so far is the best.

would it be okay to run the star specs at 255 instead of the normal 265 size on the 18 x 9.5 volks?
I wanna get it on the new rubber deal

255/35/18 you should be good. Do they not make a 265 in 18's? I didn't check.

You know those things are soft as ish... I've seen what your set-up does to a set of tires.

You still local? When are you moving?
