Kusanagi: Fixed! AND WOW! Nice pics.
I am running 265's as well (NT05s). Should be all the tire I need. I wanted to retain the ability to
do a proper tire rotation and not run a staggered tire set up.
I believe Angeljoelv is running 275s in the rear but dont remember.... If you look back he posted what he was running elsewhere in this thread.

ekliptik: what J said, it's determined by your drop and camber, if you're on stock camber, spring and shock, the rim/tyre will poke out of the fender, the following pic borrowed from WinningRX8Chick, I believe she's on Tein H.Tech which only drops 0.5":
The following pics borrowed from Atilla, I believe he has 18x10 +40 on 265/35/18, mine is very close to his at +42, but my tuck in a little more due to more negative camber, but my bottom half of the rim poke out of fender more. I can't tell you my camber degree as I have not done my wheel alignment yet, but at the moment my 265/35 is only having a contact area of 255 at the rear due to camber, I might need to straighten up the rear a little.
Note that Tanabe GF dropped 1.4" front and 1.2" rear.

Hope that helps.

Thanks rotarymachine n' roidz.
R-Rx8: here are some pic's taken by 9k i have a couple more in my gf's photo album but i gotta find em'
+38 on 265's will be nice and flush with the fender as you can see from the pics that Kusanagi posted of me n' my fat fingers showing teh flushiness...clearly not hellaflush due to the size of the wheel gap.
My suspension is basic springs that dropped me to about .8". In the moving pic that's with a passenger and some extra stuff in the trunk so i'm assuming around 1.2 drop. Still pretty nice looking.
My camber WAS set at -1.2F and -1.8R buuuuuuut i think it's a lil' off now judging by those pics my rear looks jacked

Depends on your wheel width, camber and offset. Mine are 18x10 +28 and at -2.5 camber they're flush with the wheel well. If you want poke you're asking for trouble of having the tire literally hitting the fender during suspension travel unless you pull the fender out.
