A 265 will not fit properly on a 8.5" wheel. Honestly, a 255 is too much for it too. Wider doesn't always mean better grip. When you start to deform the tire by placing it on a rim too narrow, you lose contact patch from tread bulge. I would stick with 245 at the most. A nice 235/40/18 or 245/40/18 will work wonders. The 38mm will give you an easier time with the rear fenders. And if you want to know how they would look, just look at X wheels. They are 18x8.5" 38mm offset.
Thanks for the reply Drew. Once I get the right wheels/tires and coilovers should be ready for your big brake setup.

So 18x8.5 with 38mm would be my best bet? I want the rear especially to poke out just little bit.

What about 18x9.5? Which offset to run to run the widest tire setup? I believe 18x9.5 barely fits on RA and theres not much room to work with for meaty tire setup.
