That said a 265 on a 9” rim creates lazy turn in, and the 265 on our cars is meant to be a rear tire and has less channels for rain dispersion.
So, the widest/tallest I’d go on the stock front rims is 255/35/19. A little less lateral grip, but it doesn’t rub, hydroplanes less, and turn in is sharper.

Are you certain it's the liner that's rubbing? I've noticed that the brake ducts on my car extend 1/4-3/8" past the fender liner. Could that be what's actually getting rubbed on?
