No mods. Fit on stock suspension AND fit fine on Moton 2ways dropped to GT2 heights.

But I went with HRE who could TELL ME what offsets I needed. There was zero pushback from them- told them what I wanted to do, they took the order, no issues.

OP may have gotten some lip from the rep, who knows...but we know 265s on 9 or 9.5s fit.

Oh, paradoxically the coilovers have MORE space than the stock set up.

Not everyone has been so fortunate with most having to modify the radiator mount to fit.
