Me and my buddy maxed out the camber on the oem adjustment bolts and bounced on the rear and the fender still bottomed out on the top edge of the tire

Im not going to sacrifice safety for function as I have 370whp and plan to turn up the boost in the next year so running a smaller tire is not the best idea for me just to get my wheels to fit in the fenders....

not to mention running alot of camber on such wide tires with high hp the tires will be camber wore in no time...

How much can the rears be pulled before body work needs to be done and does anyone have a link how it is done?

I think with how little the difference between a 255 and a 265 is you won't notice it. I'm not sure flaring your fenders out to the max will fit that. In your case I would go with rear overfenders.

you need camber and 265's are oversquare on a 9.

fender roll and bumper tab relocation. People do it 24/7 with rpf1's. Easy stuff

you can mess up your front fenders if it rubs and when you turn they will get messed up if they hit, not to mention you will start to take chunks out of your tire if it hits the front fender while driving. Do the roll and bumper tab relocation first. I suggest while you're rolling the fenders to just flare them out as well. You'll be able to go lower and still have clearance to turn in the front.

I think right now my fronts are flared to the point that they almost get wavy and I would say I have another 10-12 mm of clearance.
Do you do your own rolls and flares? and what are your current wheel specs?
