Update. Ok, I got the wheels on and they look great. However, the rear was way more flush than I thought it would be. I'm glad I went with the 265 and not the 275. I'm still rubbing like crazy but hopefully the drop will alleviate some of that. The fronts fit perfectly and IMO could actually be a bit more flush. I will post better pics once I drop the car.

Rear



Front



Rear again

Wheels look nice. But IMO, it pokes out way too much in the rear. Can't really tell with the front pic but it also looks like it pokes out too much. You definitely need to lower it though. I would've done that before upgrading the wheels. Now it'll look like you're driving a monster truck haha

Correct me if I'm wrong but the best time to drop the car is after you put the wheels on so you can get an alignment and get the specs you need dialed in to accommodate those said wheels, right? Also, if you think the fronts poke out too much (the pic could be deceiving) then you must be part of the HELLATUCKED team. In any matter, I will be getting the drop done this week so everything should be good after then.

Naw I always drop my car first then put wheels on. Your drop will help with the poke for sure. It will look great, good job man.

Ahh, well, it's going to be done this week so no monster truck for me! I'm really loving the look of the wheels as it definitely gives the car a more aggressive stance. Thanks dude.

Rubbing like a ****. Anyone know what noise the bumper bracket makes as compared to the fender? The most common noise I get on bumps is the horrible shrieking sound, fun stuff.

Ya the bracket makes that scraping sound, dont worry if it was hitting the fender youd be screwed already. Just shave that bracket down and youre all good

Yeah, going up the drive way is fun. I have to first angle my car for the front tires but then quickly need to straighten it out because at an angle the rear tires will rub the fender. Good times.
