Instead with 265/295 you will have problems with this setup.
Your first link is Detailer's Domain, and it's a comment that he changed his mind on and promptly swapped tires because of rub.

Your second link doesn't say anything about rubbing.

Your third link is suspect, as it mentions no rub at all.

Your fourth link describes it better, some rub with nearly stock size tires and a drop.


I'm not going to argue with you about it, but what you have here is a case of people a.) not willing to tell the whole truth to safe face, and b.) driving their cars like a grandma on perfect streets.

I'm a huge FI-R fan, and will have a set one day, but I have no need to lie to protect my investment, and I don't drive like a damn grandma. When I get my set you can bet I'll be telling the whole truth about it, camber at max adjustment and all.

EDIT: From the fourth link, the PS4S in the 255 size is nearly identical to stock.

Stock 245/35 has a 8.8 TW & 25.8 OD
PS4S 255/35 has a 8.9 TW & 26.0 OD

The rear is also very nearly the same.

Stock 265/35 has a 9.4 TW & 26.3 OD
PS4S 275/35 has a 9.8 TW & 26.6 OD
