265s up front?
Thought this would be asked before, but search came up with nothing. Does anyone run or have tried running 265s up front? Planning to get a set of PS4S, wondering if anyone manager to squeeze that extra 10mm in.

Are you on OEM wheels? I wouldn't run a 265 on an 8 inch wide wheel. You'll bulge quite a bit and sacrifice performance in corners because the tire will want to mush one way or the other.
You're also on coilovers and a widebody it appears.
I would max it out at 255.
Perhaps I should ask, why? Can't find the PS4S in a smaller size?

No definitely not on oems. Rims are 19x9 et 35, 19x11 et 16. Since I will be running either 305 or 325 in the rear I am generally curious if anyone has done 265s for better grip, since I've never seen anyone talk about it.

Yeah you can do 265/30 on stock front fenders with wider rims depending on offset. Actually fits better than the 255/35, which can slightly rub at full lock because of the slight height difference (26" vs 25.3"). I was running a 20mm spacer when I had my 245's with plenty of clearance.

But ps4s only come in 305 (or 325)/30/19. Wouldn't that trip the ABS issue since .6% over 3%.

Stock 18s and Optional 19s are both 8" front and 9" rear so you run out of rim width before rubbing issues at stock height sadly.
I think BLKROKT and Gzim both fit 285s without rubbing on aftermarket 19s
