rear 16x7.5 fits a 265 fine,
A 265 tire needs a 8.5" to 10" rim.
This is a commonly accepted standard for the tire industry. A 265 will not fit "fine" on a 7.5" rim. Sure, you can wedge that thing on there, but the bead will be pulled in so far that it doesn't have the proper angle to seal onto the rim flange. Furthermore, you would have to reduce tire pressures so much just to equalize the footprint pressure on the ground as to make it dangerously low and heat from tire flex becomes a real issue. You may get away with it depending upon the driving conditions of the owner of such a set-up, but they certainly are not a safe or confident way to go.

xviper, i used to own and run 3 different car accessory store and made custom wheels.. with a 40 series on a 265. (100mm+) sidewall it will fit fine.
same as putting a 225 on a 6.5.
safe/confident.
now. if it were a 17x7.5 i WOULD NOT put a 265.. only because the profile of the tire makes it doable.
if you dont wanna dont, im just coming from had-done and been-done standpoint.

u warming them up too?
sounds to me like ur VERY novice.. thinking proxy 4 are better grip than AVS es 100.
better grip.... run like some compound tires..
im sorry but theirs no ways ur properly pushing your tires to the limits.. w/ 245 avs in rear..
if your ass is sliding now w/ 245's then learn to clutch better and drive better.

I sound novice? When did I say that Proxy4's are better grip than AVS ES100's?
And why won't I be able to push the car to its limits with ES100's? The limit of the car changes every time you mod it.
I know how to drive the S, and I sure know how to clutch and drive.
Please read and TRY to comprehend what I say before you open your mouth.
Kthxbye.
Btw,

Just thought i'd ask.
And honestly, talking about tires to me, is along the same lines of speaking Arabic..backwards. But a 265 on our rim.. Haha.. That would be like putting a 400 lbs women in a corset.. But hey, like you said, to each their own. We all own S2k's, stop drinking the hatorade.
