Can a 265 front fit without rubbing?

Will rolling the fenders help them fit ok?

Zmann is infamous around these parts
given the negative camber that I run, the 255 hits. can't see a 265 fitting.

I don't usually recommend wider than 245 for street driving. There's no benefit to it. For track use maybe 255.

I'm running -3 and my 255 hits the coil over. I just ordered another set and went back to the 245.
