Cool. I was going to go with 265 for the squared look. 255 would have a little stretch.

Itll depend on the 255. My 255 Federals are wider than my 265 yoks, no stretch on either tire!

Going to switch to full coils next year, toss some negative camber and see if I can get away with 275s.

275/35/18 on 18x9.5+45 lowered with Eibach Pro. No modifications to body. If you install camber kit in rear to correct camber you will then rub. Currently running 285/30/18.
Good luck!

Ran 275/35/18 square setup on 18x9.5+45 wheels. No issues even lowered on eibach springs and tracking it.
Damn I shoulda went with 275… didn’t think it would clear on stock height so I went 255 but don’t like the slight stretch lol. Gonna see if the shop will swap em out since I haven’t even put em on the car.

Yah, you're good. I ran 275 RSRR which run about 278mm wide. When suspension compressed and wheel tucks, you have about 5 microns of clearance. Never, ever rubbed.
Good luck!

you will need to modify the front fender tab but then you’re fine

its this one right by the side marker. Remove screw, tuck fender liner under the metal, then heat it up and bend it upwards. No more rubbing.
