A 265 will be stretched a wee bit on a 9.5 which could help with clearance. But if my 275 +38(its literally like a rollie paper at full compression) then a +40 should be fine.

Cant remember if the nitto are on the wide or narrow side for their advertised size.

What off set are your fronts btw? I wish I got +25 8.5 now. +30 is ok but not hella flush like the rear

Agree with the 265 on a 9.5 rim.. I have the slightest bit of 'stretch' on mine and - this being my opinion of course - I don't like the look of it and it feels a bit funny at the back when taking a high speed corner

Edit.. I'll clarify this a bit by saying I have cheap as sh*t chinese tyres on the back

Doubt it, they are a wide tyre man, trust me.

I have 295's and they are a touch wider than my 305 Invos

Ideally, you would have an 18" rim and run the 275 R888.

Agree that the NT05 are not even in the same league as an R888.

Another very good option is the Hankook RS3. Comes in a 275/35/19. 19" kind of kills your choices for these kind of tyres.

R888 > RS3 > NT05.

And I'd say the RS3 is a fair amount ahead of the NT05
