To be truthfully honest with you my 17" rims which I'd imagine are 7.5 wide are 225's and they have rubbed. I'm going to say no but perhaps depending on your offset you might get lucky who knows. You might get lucky because the profile is smaller but I still would be very hesitant at 265's! I have a guy that has a set of 18" rims and tires that are 10% worn and can't buy them because they are 8.5 wide and 235 or 245 wide....are they new or used and thats why your trying to go that wide?

Since your an autocrosser I'd imagine you know how to roll fenders right? You would possibly be able to do it then but I'm imagine only then...

 

That's what I amthinking, I am looking at rolling the fenders at least the lip? Yikes, we shall see. I am using Stuttgart Auto Body, I hope I can get these on and then Nitros and a new clutch and redo the busishings and shocks in the suspension and look out Porsche and BMW. We shall see? I did have 255/45/16 (taller but not as wide)Cooper Zeon ZPT's, so 265/35/18 (wider and not as tall) Hankook RS-2's. Autocross is all tires and rims. A little power and skill too.
