This is a picture of my car with the 9.5 +53 in the rear with a 265. I was running OE alignbment and I am lowered on Espilar spings. With the fender rolled I was not rubbing, since this is a +53 and I ordered a +38 I figurted I needed .5" extra clearance.
I did this just on math, 53 - 38 = 15, 15mm = .59inch
I pulled the fender about .5" and even though it still looked tight I was able to put a finger inbetween the 9.5 +53 w/ 265.
Here is a pic of what the fender looks like now.
Idealy I want to run a 9 +45 w/ 245 up front and a 9.5 +38 w/ 265 in the rear w/o going all camber crazy to make them fit

Good luck, If you flare your fenders out enough it might work.
Also there isnt allot of 265 tire manufacturers out there, and for some reason the ones I’ve seen actually have less tire patch then a 255, so keep this in mind. When running this tight, you should be looking at the individual tire manufactures sizing charts to see where their sizes actually put you. Not two are the exact same.
Generally a tire of the same 255 for example in a 35 vs 40. The 40 series 255 will have a wider tread. The less sidewall a tire has of the same aspect ratio will generally have a slighty less tread width. I think I said that right I think you know what I mean

Anyone have some good pics of 17x9.5 +38 all around? What tire sizes would be necessary to run this setup with NO rubbing issues after rolling all four corners, moving the bumper tab, etc. I'm dropped on koni/espilir combo on the lowest perch. Could I make this work? Pics of someones running this setup would be great if its possible. Thanks!
