FYI a 265 with a +20 9.5 will most likely rub in the rear with passengers or hard cornering.

Im running 9.75 +20 w/ 275s and only rubbing im getting is in the front at full lock. im at stock height at the moment though.

OP can let you know this weekend how it does dropped on GT worx.

The best looking tire size will always be the biggest size you can fit under your fenders lol! For me that would be 285's( BEEFY) . For 9.5 rims probably 275's , but you'll need to do some fender rolling in rear and possible heat gun mod on front fender liners and some - camber.If your not up for that stick to 265's (less. Headache).

265s

Best best looking size IS....

What ever style you prefer:

- 245 on a 9.5" wheels is a bit stretched ie: a bit more street tuner style (IMO)
- 275 on a 9.5" wheel will be super beefy looking, more agressive and more racecar/rally style.

Just depends on what direction your going with your car. I'm going to go racecar style 265 on a 9.5. I personally think my buddies Evo X looks great with a 10.5" and a 245 tire. (kinda semi hella flush style)

On my 10" rim 275/35/18 looks great. Michelin pss is a great looking tire anyways.

Because the size of your tires is only an aesthetic choice if you drive a Prius or if youre a Sick Bro. Neither is a good thing.

Hahaha, ya, true. But I think anyone whose bought a new setup wants to kill their fendergap and avoid the 4X4 monster truck look.

**edit added info based on height based on Macs reminder. Thanks.

Are you planning on lowering? Ive been leaning toward 265s, but, Im afraid of rubbing

Thanks, good to hear
