Works great, no rubbing in the front at all. Rear fenders need a slight roll where the biggest part of the lip is. 265s would probably clear fine. Inside has plenty of room. I suspect you could actually go 265 on the stock wheels.

The 9.5" wheels look awesome. I'll get a picture.

275s on 18x9.5s 45 offset. Some notes:

On the rear, you could do 48 offset. I would not go below 45, or you will have to do more then a simple roll of the fender. With the 45 offset, you could do a 285, but again that pushes the outside which would need more roll.

On the front 45 is perfect. Room both in and out. Might be able to squeeze 285s.

I also have the Perrin PSRS, which increased the caster to 6.8 degrees.

Badass!
