Got it. Didn't know Champion makes 9.5" fronts

The setup I'm talking about on my car is an 18" with forgestars. I alternate shoes sometimes between these and my 19" champions

I can only imagine they look stretched. I have 8.5" in front with 225's for a winter setup and they look stretched. I would try to squeeze the 265's on there and use spacers as needed. As a reference I have 15mm spacers on the front stock tires running 235's and there is no rubbing.

So am I understanding correctly, if I go to 265/30 I will need a spacer with the 49 offset?
