Based on info from here, it looks like the only 16" size of the new Kumho 710s will be 265/45 (for a while at least). Will 265s fit on stock wheels in front? If so, is it a bad idea to try 265's on all four corners even with a bigger front bar?

IMO no way in front on stock wheels.

they'll fit on the rears, but even on my 9" front wheels I only run a 245 hooiser.

We tried 265's on the rear of our 2000 model, and it was a tight squeeze - Rylan's right, I don't think it would fit on the fronts.

I wouldn't do it even if it did fit - you want more tire on the behind of the S2K's compared to the front to help tame that end of the car...

Thanks, thats kind of what I thought but I was hoping that someone has tried them and found that they fit.

I guess I'll be getting Hoosiers.

Believe it or no there was a guy on here, DaveG I believe is his username, who had a shop accidentally mount a 265 victoracer on the front wheel. Its amazing when you bring a shop 4 tires and 4 wheels, with 2 of the tires/wheels being wider than the other two, that this can happen. Its happened to me 2 times at 2 different places so I have given up and I only bring 2 wheels/tires at a time.
Anyway, if you want to run Kumhos you can still run Victoracers. I run 245/265 combo with the comptech front bar. This setup has given me better times compared to the 225/245 combo.
