265/35 on the stock 9” rim doesn’t net hardly anymore contact patch and introduces worse steering response and rollover on track. Really need a 9.5” rim for a 265 on track.
Plus, a new 265 is taller and will rub the fender liner under severe compression, which you’ll find on track.

This is exactly what I'm afraid of with going over mfg suggested width. If I were keeping the car I'd just shell out for wider rims, but I don't plan to be here more than 3 years. So I'm a slave to stock rims. But I'd be happy with 255/275 setup with track pads.
When I get back to the States I know exactly what car I want. It will be a Corvette Grand Sport. It comes with serious aero and 275/325 tires from the factory. Because Racecar!
