However, I am running the stock suspension and there is no rubbing at all. Further, I believe that I can fit a 295 on the back. I'll be giving it a try next time around w/ the mods the car still can spin them up!
That might be tough because Josh told me that even 285s was an issue before he did the quarter panel widening on his old HREs. I agree that 265 is a stretch on 10" wheels. When I bought my Kleemann MS11s from Z99, he had the 265s on and as soon as I wear them out, I am switching to 275. I believe my rear offset is 50.

This is how my 275`s look on a 19x10 with 50 ET offset...no rubs at all....

No spacers in the rear...that would push the wheel out even more

I'm going outside right after I type this to put some 10mm spacers on the front to get them flush with the front fenders.

Tires are Bridgestone RE-11's

On stock height it will just tuck your wheels in by 3 mm...not sure if its required for stock height....

Wow that looks really good with the 10mm spacers. I'm actually surprised it fit considering my 5mm ones appear flush.

Thanks....

I didn't want to take the chance and get those generic ones on Ebay because I've heard horror stories of vibrations and the rings shifting

They are H&R spacers....awesome and very precise fit...they are hub-centric and have a lip to mount your wheel rings....high quality and absolutely no vibrations

That's awesome that a 10mm fit w/o rubbing. I don't think I can install a 10mm spacer with my lowered setup. Looks great on your car!
