No disrespect intended dude, but I'm going to use you as an example.

1. The 265/30 PS4S will almost assuredly rub in the front on 9.5 +27.
2. The 285/30 PS4S runs particularly skinny, and as such is as near as makes no difference in width to the stock 265, and has a SHORTER sidewall, which will grip less.
3. At his height the 265/285 combo will make his gap look like a monster truck.
I think you are being quite dramatic. The fronts will barely rub and a heatgun will resolve the issues if it doesn’t self clear.

Stock tire dimensions;
9.8wide 25.8tall front
10.7wide 26.3 tall rear

265/285 combo
10.7wide 25.3tall front
11.4 wide 25.8tall rear

about 1/4” of added fender gap = monster truck? Especially on a black car…dramatic

OP, do a search on this forum for pics of others running similar setups. I was worried due to people making comments about my future tire setup..but after searching im good..Everyone says its bad, then someone does it and shows irs good/fine.
