You will need a fender pull and a good fender roll to make that happen. Nothing a 3 pound sledge can't make happen..... :D

You would want at least a 9 inch wide wheel and a 9.5 inch wide wheel would be best.

I definitely agree. You're gonna need your rear wheel to be at LEAST 9.5" to throw a 265 on there and it look right. I used to have a e36 vert with 265/35/19'z in the rear, so it can be done. You're just going to need to do some major fender rolling and/or pulling. Be careful not to crack the paint though. Good Luck!

Would it look sorta out of shape if the fenders were pulled and rolled out to line with 265's or em i better of with a wide body? Once it gets pulled theres no turning back so I would definetly take it to a pro shop
